Hunter Valley
Overview
TimberNook Hunter Valley is located at 957 Tocal Road, Paterson, NSW in the Dungog Shire, on the grounds of the heritage-listed Tocal Homestead. Prior to 1822 the area was part of the lands of the Gringai Clan of the Wonnerua people and used as a camp site. Tocal is derived from Koori language meaning 'Ducks Aplenty'. The grounds are set among magnificent fig trees overlooking the Tocal lagoon, with the Paterson River beyond. We have access to old barns, timber fenced paddocks, offering endless opportunities for wonder, excitement and the unexpected!

Barefoot and Buckets - TimberNook of Greater Cleveland
reviewed by dawncpgardiner
WE LOVE TIMBERNOOK! My kids (ages 4 and 8) attended this and loved it! They came back covered in mud and gleefully happy every day. They got to play with friends (new and old) and explore and learn. My two oldest children (8 and 10) have grown so much from Timbernook and Miss Brenda's loving care. They love her, and we are so grateful to her for all she does. The camp provides a chance to for kids to explore nature and play in an unstructured manner with peers. Kids are given a chance to do amazingly fun things and challenge themselves. I could NOT be happier with this program. My kids returned happy and exhausted every day full of pure joy. Especially after covid-time, my kids needed this chance for growth, connection with peers, and time in nature.

I can’t say enough positive things about this camp. The director and counselors put so much thought into the activities offered but then take a mindful step back to let kids do what they do best, PLAY! Camp weeks are my son’s favorite part of summer!

This program is awesome! My kids had the most wonderful time. My 12 yr old said, "I knew it would be fun, but I had no idea it would be THAT much fun!"

Wild Ones - TimberNook Los Angeles
reviewed by Grahamdad
The Wildwood Picnic area proved an ideal setting for the children to explore the river, play games like tug of war, tire-rolling, and more. Sarah and the facilitators provided plenty of cool raw materials and cozy comforts like a fire pit for smores so there were plenty of settings for kids' individual preferences. When there were behavioral challenges, the kids were able to work things out in the end. The photos, quotes and post-session write-ups were fun to read as well. Thanks for the great experience on behalf of my son.
