Tilikum Day Camp

Cost: $TBD For Campers Entering 1st through 6th grades

Tilikum is putting together another spectacular summer program for your children: five days of outdoor adventure and Christian living supervised by carefully trained staff. Biblical teaching through engaging story lessons are one of the many ways we share the message of God’s love with each camper.
