George Fox University | About | Tilikum

Christian camping is emphasized through the facilities of university-owned Tilikum, a center for retreats and outdoor ministries for the greater Portland area.

Tilikum features year-round programs and facilities with a wide appeal to all ages and denominations. More than 2,500 children and youth enjoy the summer camping program. University students have opportunities for study, recreation, personal renewal, and employment.

Tilikum provides the following kind of retreat and camp experiences: (1) relational -- family groups, men, women, couples, youth, and single parents -- with a goal of strengthening the entire family unit; (2) support to local churches -- to make available a retreat setting that encourages opportunity for renewal, planning, and spiritual growth; (3) senior adult Elderhostels; and (4) a challenge ropes course for teamwork, personnel challenge and growth, and fun through experiential learning.
