Gorham, Maine
We are excited to offer TimberNook right in the heart of Gorham, ME - far enough from Portland to find some fresh air and beautiful woods, yet close enough to be convenient! Located on 5 acres of forested land that backs into many more hundreds of acres of woods, children have the chance to step into another world - one where they are given the time and space to run, climb, build, imagine and create. Let them play the TimberNook way!
Overview
Hello and welcome! You will find here information regarding our upcoming programs. The families who find their way to TimberNook are those who believe in the importance of deep, authentic, child-led play for children's minds, bodies, and spirits. Children learn invaluable life lessons when playing with each other, in environments where they are free to make choices, come up with ideas and solve their problems. We are 100% outdoors, try to keep small consistent groups, and have lots of space to spread out! See below for current and upcoming offerings!

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.

Storybook - TimberNook Tri-County

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.
