In life, we often face questions that seem impossible to answer, challenges that feel insurmountable.
Yet, in these moments of uncertainty, Jesus invites us to seek Him earnestly. We will discover the profound truth that Jesus is closest to us during our hardest moments and by turning to Him, we can find clarity, wisdom, and peace. He is the light that shines in our darkest moments, guiding us to the truth and providing the answers our hearts long for.

Our Speaker: Peter Ignatovich

Peter is a devoted husband, married to Anna for 28 years, and a proud father of three sons. As the pastor of The Bible Church PDX in the Portland area, he spreads faith and guidance to his community. Peter's passion extends beyond the pulpit, as he also serves as a speaker at youth camps and, alongside Anna, leads pre-marriage classes. He finds fulfillment in leading missions trips and enjoys hobbies such as outdoor activities, travel, and photography.

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 tradgedy 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.
