Camp Tilikum is a place where people can go to experience creation, build community, find refuge, encounter God, and see lives transformed. Nestled among the hazelnut orchards and hillside vineyards of Newberg, Oregon, Tilikum is about 45 minutes southwest of Portland. Tilikum has offered quality programs and retreat facilities for our guests since 1971.
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.

Services
Save at least an additional $75 off your Summer Camp registration when you register for Week 1. 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.
Since 1971 Tilikum has been partnering with local churches to bring kids to Camp. When youth ministers bring kids to camp they maximize the camp experience for youth, building strong relationships within their group and help them develop in their relationships with God. Follow-up continues in the local church, so the powerful influence of Camp can continue in their lives.

I grew up going to this Camp. It is so beautiful here. The lake is gorgeous and it has some great hiking trails. It is a summer camp so it's not meant for Rvs. They have a barn with goats, a miniature horse, a donkey, and some chickens. Whenever I am in the area, I always stop by here because it's so peaceful. It also helps that my Uncle, Dennis Littlefield, works and runs the camp.
