What makes Twin Rocks’ camps so successful? The superb staff. Each camp leadership team includes education and/or youth ministry professionals familiar with camping methods and experiential learning techniques. These leaders relate effectively with today’s young people, and are committed to keeping camp fun, engaging, and Christ-centered. Twin Rocks is also blessed with a slate of hand-picked, carefully trained cabin counselors who model Christian commitment and strength of character. This counseling staff provides the backbone to our summer camp program, where purposeful small group activities stand at the core of camp. While campers enjoy an abundance of all-camp activities, it’s the small group discussions that make Twin Rocks camps special. Group-building initiatives create an atmosphere of trust, a place where lasting friendships are forged. Campers have the chance to be heard and cared for.
Twin Rocks Friends Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association, a stamp of approval verifying a camp’s quality programming and excellent safety standards. To receive this accreditation, Twin Rocks passed a rigorous, 157-point inspection.
We have an exciting week of camp planned, full of amazing activities and memorable experiences! If you have any questions about camp feel free to contact us at 503-355-2284.

Campers love to get mail! It is recommended that parents write to their campers at least once during camp. Mail received after a session is over will be forwarded to the camper’s home address. In addition to the child’s full name, please mark the envelope with the name of the camp they are attending.

On the first day of camp, your child will have a brief health screening. Campers will be checked for contagious conditions and asked about recent illness or injury. Please do a thorough check for head lice a week or so before camp.
Any medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications and vitamins must be turned in to the nurse during registration on the first day of camp. All containers will be returned to the parents at the end of camp, including those that are empty. All medications sent to the camp must be received in the original container with the label from the pharmacy indicating the name of the medication, dosage, frequency of administration, individual who prescribed it, and the name of the child. Vitamins and over-the-counter products must be in containers clearly labeled with the item description and the child’s name. Dispensing medication and all first aid care is recorded in a written log throughout the week. Please do not take your child off of any doctor- prescribed medication while at camp.
The Camp Store will not be open during Boys Camp or Girls Camp since sufficient snacks are provided elsewhere. Apparel can be purchased on Sunday during check-in or on Friday during Family Day activities. Any money brought by these campers will be held until checkout.
Medical situations which cannot be handled by the camp will be referred to the Tillamook Hospital Emergency Department. Parents will be notified as soon as possible in cases of emergency or serious illness. If necessary, camp personnel will contact your Emergency Contacts to authorize treatment for your child. Parents will not normally be called in the case of upset stomachs, headaches, scrapes, or bruises.
