The first week of Camp is Homeschool Week!

home-school-weekHomeschool Week 1 is June 9-13, 2025.

Tilikum’s first week of the summer is dedicated primarily to homeschool families. Portland/Newberg area homeschoolers can choose between the programs below. Groups of 10 or more campers from homeschool co-ops or churches can register together for streamlined check-in and special pricing.

 

Day Camp (1st – 6th grades)

Led by Tilikum’s college-age summer staff, small groups of 8-12 campers of similar age, experience the joys of God’s beautiful outdoors together. Canoeing, archery, swimming and nature hikes are some of the activities your homeschooler will enjoy. For campers entering grades 1 – 6 or corresponding ages.

Special Homeschool week pricing includes at least a $60 discount off the regular price for Camp.

Realizing that families have differing abilities to pay, Tilikum offers a three-tier pricing structure. Tiered pricing is intended to help families recognize the full cost of Camp and then select the level most suitable for their family circumstances. By choosing to pay the full cost of Camp, Tilikum is able to offer financial assistance to families that need it. Find our pricing structure on our registration page here.

Includes the additional $60 discount when you register for Week 1 Homeschool Camp Week, plus at least an additional $40 discount when you register by May 1.

QUEST campers spend their days in small groups challenging themselves on Tilikum’s challenge course. Led by our Adventure Program staff, QUEST campers may climb the Giant’s Ladder, or take a Leap of Faith. For campers entering grades 6th-8th or corresponding ages.

Did you know your child can come to Camp more than one week?

Activities and curriculum won’t change significantly from week to week, but if your child loves Tilikum they could come to Camp up to three times this summer.
