Program

Speaker – Rich Miller

Rich Miller lives in Sherwood, Oregon with his wife Nadine. They have been married for 33 years and have three adult children. Bethany (& Dan) Headley live in Fort Mill, South Carolina with their two children (Elliotte & Olin). Kenton (& Bekah) live down the street from them in Sherwood. And their youngest, Gerik, lives with them.

While his children and grandchildren are his greatest passion (and accomplishment), Rich and Nadine have enjoyed having Labrador and Golden retrievers as family pets through the years. Currently they have a 20-month-old goldie named Harley (Nadine got Harley the dog in 2017, the same year that Rich got a Harley motorcycle). While Rich enjoys riding his Harley, both Nadine and he also enjoy walking Harley. They also enjoy camping, hiking and skiing.

Rich is the pastor at Sherwood Community Friends Church and has been there since 2012. He has pastored at three other NWYM Friends churches in his career (South Salem Friends, Olympic View Friends, and Four Summits Community Church) and has always had a passion and concern for encouraging and helping parents parent.

He and his family attend West Chehalem Friends Church where Nathan serves as one of the regular worship leaders. He is an anesthesiologist at Tuality Hospital in Hillsboro.

Accommodations

Lodging

Stay at Tilikum Lodge in a comfortable country, retreat center setting. You and your child(ren) will have your own guest sleeping room with three single beds and a private bathroom.

Special diets

We can accommodate options for those with medical dietary needs when given prior notification. Tilikum charges an additional $1 per meal per person for “medical diet” requests. Tilikum prepares family-style meals rather than ‘individual short orders’ based on “food preferences”. We will make you an individual meal with the specifications listed below to the best of our abilities. We are not a dedicated facility and will process all types of foods in the same kitchen. Please click the following link for the Tilikum Medical Diet Form. This form should be completed by the individual themselves and needs to be returned by email two-weeks prior to your Family Weekend to Debbie Ford/Camp Registrar.
