Calgary
TimberNook of Greater Calgary operates out of Edworthy Park, right in the heart of Calgary. We have found a cozy corner of the park with a spring running through it and giant trees to inspire all sorts of magical play experiences, with ducks and deer coming to visit, and birds nesting close by. We celebrate 'near-by nature,' and strive to make our programs accessible to busy families.
Overview
TimberNook of Greater Calgary is pleased to offer unique, high quality outdoor play programs for Calgary children. We are a team of highly trained staff, including pediatric physiotherapists, occupational therapists, teachers, and environmental educators, who can't wait to welcome you and your children to our TimberNook family!

Wild Ones - TimberNook of Greater Cleveland
reviewed by dawncpgardiner
My boys of 7 and 9 love this program. They love Miss Brenda. They come back full of joy and excitement to share their experiences - and occasional frustrations! They are learning to work with others while having great experiences in the outdoors. They have built forts, played mock battles, dumped loads of worms into a creek to see what would happen, and explored their location with great curiosity. I love the flexibility and freedom of the program. Miss Brenda is amazing, and I am so pleased she is watching over my boys.

Extreme Art - TimberNook Central Ohio
reviewed by swittsto
Our child absolutely loves Timbernook and looks forward to going back every summer. We love getting pictures and reports of what the kids do each day. The staff is amazing, extremely caring, and we love that they have experience working with special needs children. They are such an encouragement to us and our child. I highly recommend this program!

Barefoot and Buckets - TimberNook Central Ohio
reviewed by kcoen
Krista and her staff are nothing short of AMAZING! They are so sweet with the kids and you can tell she really cares about all of them and making sure they have an awesome experience. The structure (or lack of) is what we loved most about this camp- kids can be KIDS and not have to follow a strict set routine, they play outside the entire time and are encouraged to get messy, dirty, creative and have fun. We just love it.

Storybook - TimberNook Central Ohio
reviewed by Sarahwill
This is a fantastic experience for all kids. They learn and explore in one of the most beautiful spots in Delaware OH. My autistic son struggles at times but they are experienced and fully capable of fulfilling his needs. This is one of the best camps around. He is still asking about going to the camp in the woods (probably for the water slide!!!)

Village Folks - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by SymonsFam6108
What an absolutely amazing experience for my kids (ages 7 and 11)! They were able to really dive into the depths of their imagination and were encouraged to be as creative as they’d like. I thoroughly enjoyed the daily emails including pictures and quotes from the day, it was so fun going through them with the kids and hearing all about it- it truly made me feel like I was able to experience it alongside them! Overall wonderful program that allows kids to be KIDS! I will recommend to everyone!

Village Folks - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by Tracicutler
As an elementary education teacher of 20 years and mother of 3 school age children that have attended Timbernook, I highly recommend this program! My children asked after day 1 why they can’t do the camp all summer. I thought they’d change their minds after a few days but, at the last day, it was the same response. My kids love Timbernook and each day can’t stop talking about what they did, friends they made, and future ideas they came up with during camp as well that they want to put into motion. Great program!

Storybook - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by ErinBowden
My kids love TimberNook! Each day the kids had opportunities to make a different storybook come to life in their cute, imaginative ways. Strega Nona’s pasta, Walter the Baker’s bakery, making mailboxes and deliveries, banking with walnuts, pinecones, and gems found in the forest. They loved to play in the creek, climb, get messy, and make friends.

Absolutely love everything about this camp! Where kids just get to be kids, explore nature, and have fun. The Storybook week was cute and gave the kids a different theme in the woods each day. Will definitely be back.
