Location and Directions

LOCATION

Camp Indralaya is located on Orcas Island, an island in the heart of the Salish Inland Sea in northern Puget Sound, Washington State, in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

Orcas Island is one of the main islands in the San Juan Islands Archipelago, a group of roughly 250 small islands (depending on the tides). These islands stretch to the east and south of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada.

Camp Indralaya is located on the water in a southerly cove a few miles from Eastsound village. This is the main village on the island and is within walking distance from camp.
