I have called you by name; you are mine.
Isaiah 43:1

Our Speaker: Michael Nelson

Michael Nelson is a life-long follower of Jesus (with a few hitches along the way), and a life-long camper at Twin Rocks. A high-school English teacher by trade, Michael enjoys digging into texts and thinking deeply about what they have to say to us in real life, an approach he relied upon as a former speaking pastor at Woodstock Bible Church in Portland. This year at Family Camp he's excited to explore the implications of Isaiah 43:1 where God tells his people, "I have summoned you by name; you are mine." What kind of comfort can these words give us? What demands do they make upon us? How can we live in the truth they reveal?

Important Reminders

  • Know Where Your Children Are! Please keep in mind that children are supervised by Family Camp staff only during the morning teaching session.
    Neither Family Camp nor TRFC staff are able to provide any supervision in the Shelter, volleyball court, Arts and Crafts room, playground, Gaga Ball pit, mini-golf, etc.
    Family Camp politely recommends that children under 9 years of age be supervised at all times.
  • Lake Activities are only available while lifeguards are on duty. Check the schedule for these hours.
  • NO swimming or even wading in the ocean due to very strong undertow. This is a dangerous beach. Please stay safe and out of the Pacific. (The stream is a great alternative for kids who want to get wet!)
    The Family Camp Squad also politely recommends that holes dug on the beach should be no deeper than the knees of the shortest member of the group. Avoid tragedy by keeping it shallow!
  • The Dining Hall is closed 30 minutes before each meal so that the set-up teams can work. Otherwise, it’s a great place to hang out!
  • The nurse's station is next to the Tillamook Bay room in Hadley Hall, but our nurses will usually be elsewhere on campus. Please find a TRFC staff or Family Camp Squad member if you need medical assistance.
  • Watch for up-to-the-moment announcements and reminders on screen before each morning meeting.

Bridge Code : 418

Please use the bridge every time. If the stairs are a challenge, there is a limited amount of on-street parking at the beach. Please do not cross the highway on foot.

Faith Talks

Have a question about faith? Michael or any of the Squad members would love to chat with you. There will also be an anonymous question box in the Meetinghouse, and Michael will take time each session to answer questions as he can.

Fire Pit Protocol

  • Please do not use the Cabins of the Trees or Welcome Center firepits this weekend.
  • Please Remember that voices carry and keep it quiet after 10 pm
  • Find kindling and firewood in bins near each pit. Matches and lighters may be obtained from TRFC staff or Family Camp Squad members.
  • Last group at the firepit, please scatter the fire so it will burn down quickly. Don't walk away from an active blaze.
