Calgary, Alberta
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.

Barefoot and Buckets Summer Camp - TimberNook of Greater Portland, Maine
reviewed by Nicole Lesavoy
What a wonderful experience Beth has created! Another Mom suggested Timbernook to me and I am so thankful she did! My son had the most amazing time running wild with peers. This is exactly what we all need given the difficult year 2020 has been. We cannot wait to be part of Timbernook again!

Castaways - TimberNook Saskatoon
reviewed by jennhysuick
My 5 year old had an amazing week at Castaway Camp! As a city kid who hates being dirty, seeing him happy and dirty at the end of each day melted my heart! At the end of the last day he was so sad he didn’t get to go back after the weekend! Will be signing him up again!!

Storybook Summer Camp - TimberNook of Greater Portland, Maine
reviewed by beliveauc
My daughter loved the "Storybook" camp. Even with two full days of rain she had nothing but excitement for camp, being with peers, and using her imagination in nature. Timbernook has a great sense of how to use their amazing space and connecting activities to their theme.

My son has never been so excited about a program. He enjoyed the “Storybook” camp so much we signed him up for the next camp! This truly is a program like no other where children are free to be themselves and explore a wide range of things.
