Join us for Family Camp at Annual Sessions.

Annual Sessions is an important event each year within Northwest Yearly Meeting. It is our hope that every local church will be able to actively participate in this event as a way to build community among our family of churches, foster spiritual growth, and connect with other Friends throughout the area and beyond. That is why we are excited to offer a way to enhance the experience of a family attending Annual Sessions in partnership with Camp Tilikum!  Families will have the opportunity to stay in the Lodge at Camp Tilikum, school-age kids will be able to attend a week at camp, and after Annual Sessions conclude on Tuesday evening, or Wednesday morning (depending on if you have any meetings), while kids are continuing to attend Camp Tilikum Day Camp or QUEST Camp the parents are invited to take some quiet time for themselves the rest of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
