About Camp Tilikum
Camp Tilikum is a place where people can go to experience creation, build community, find refuge, encounter God, and see lives transformed.
What is Camp Tilikum?
In the summer, Tilikum serves children, youth and families through outdoor adventures. On a year-round basis, Tilikum is an ideal location for group retreats, day-use planning sessions and team building on the Challenge Course. The pastoral setting includes 93 acres of woods, a 15-acre lake, 3 miles of hiking trails, a recreation building and a restored 1909 one-room school house. The Lodge is an inviting, hotel-style facility accommodating up to 58 guests. Tilikum is famous for delicious home-style meals served with a personal touch.
