Day Camp
Tilikum is putting together another spectacular summer program for your child: five days of outdoor adventure and Christian living supervised by carefully trained staff.
- Biblical teaching through engaging story lessons.
- Singing and Worship, on a fun level kids can relate to.
- Age appropriate activities including:
- Water activities - swimming, rafting, canoeing, kayaking and our water slide!
- Nature hikes
- Our famous "Big Swing"
- Archery (grades 3-6)
- Barn and animals
- Mini-zipline (grades 5-6)
- And much, much more!
Busses leave Village at 7:45 AM sharp and return at approximately 5:00 PM each day. Day Camp is for children entering first through fifth grades in the fall. |
What to Bring
Everyone attending camp will daily need a lunch, small water bottle, swimsuit and towel. Tennis shoes are also a good idea instead of sandals or flip flogs. Due to the energy expended at camp, please provide enough food for lunch and possibly a light snack during the day. It is helpful to bring your personal items (all clearly marked) in a small day pack. Instead of a t-shirt, this year Tilikum will give each child a small day pack on the first day which is included in the cost. All lost and found items will be kept for 30 days and then given to a local charity organization. Please try to keep the child's pack light as they carry it with them throughout the day. Bibles are provided.
