This nonresidential christian youth camp program follows the same hours as the Tilikum Day Camp (8:45-3:45) yet includes some of the exciting challenges of the HAC residential program. QUEST is a transitional youth camp, meant to graduate Day Campers into the more challenging activities of High Adventure Camp. Campers will participate in:

• A 29-element challenge course
• Games and fun group songs
• Both High and Low elements on our Challenge Course (you will need to wait until High Adventure to ride our new Giant Zipline)
• Spiritual & life lessons are drawn from the course experience & personal & group accomplishments
• All within a framework of safety, fun, and trust
• Swimming and boating each afternoon

Friends, Family, and Ride Givers please join us Thursday at 3:20 at the Schoolhouse to celebrate the Quest campers’ “Week in Review”. This is a short program in which the campers will help fill you in on what’s been happening this week at Tilikum. (Day Camp, Quest, and High Adventure campers will al be released at their normally scheduled time. Please be sure to sign out your camper.)

Camper Cooperation
Our intent at Tilikum is to provide a safe, Christ-centered camping environment. Though these situations are rare, the camp does reserve the right to call the camper’s parent and ask for the camper to be taken home if it is deemed that his or her behavior or actions pose a threat to the camper’s safety or the camp. The staff will do their best to inform the campers of the expectations we have for them at the beginning of camp.

• College-age or older adults.
• Selected for their desire and abilities to work with youth and children.
• Committed to the Lord.
• Specifically trained in the areas of program safety.
• Are trained in American Red Cross First Aid and CPR.
• Trained to be  sensitive to camper needs.
• Participate in a rigorous and thorough training program.
• Taught to recognize a teachable moment as a priority.
• Are trained to use teachable moments to challenge and encourage children and youth and point them towards Jesus.

Parent's Page

We had so much fun  this week as we played and learned some important Biblical lessons together. It is our desire that theses valuable lessons are not merely something the campers hear at camp and then forget about as they return home, but rather that they are able to be reminded of these important truths as they continue to grow in their faith. To encourage continued discussion with your camper, we wanted to fill you in on some of the lessons that we have been learning though our skit, trail talk, group discussion and activities. You are a vital part of your camper's growth and learning!

The camper’s spiritual and personal growth is the focal point of the ministry.
