Camp Tilikum hosted Program Directors and Interns from other Christian camps for a retreat this past week. We enjoyed exchanging ideas about running great camps and sharing Jesus with campers!

Update from the Fall fundraising banquet:
The Potlatch events on October 2 and 3, 2024 were so encouraging! All together there were 120 people in attendance (34 new). As a result of this year’s banquet (with gifts and new 1-year pledges) more than $37,000 was raised. In addition, Tilikum recently received a large gift for the Lakeside Village and 297 families are praying for Tilikum on a regular basis!
It is exciting to see how God is working!

If you've ever been to Camp Tilikum, then you know how FUN our barn is! It is one of the first buildings that you pass on your way up to the main part of camp, and was originally built in 1904. It currently houses our donkey (Izzy), and 4 goats (Hilda, Sophie, Kateri, and Zeke). During our summer programs, we bring the campers inside to meet our animals, and our retreat guests are also able to see them roaming through the field.
Here's what they've been up to this week 🫏🐐
FUN FACT: Kateri and Hilda are new as of April 2024 !

This past week Tilikum wrapped up another great summer camp season! Here is a photo of the college and high school summer staff at the farewell banquet. A lot of learning and personal growth happens when you spend a summer ministering to kids! It is hard to say good bye.
