Announcing Summer 2020 themes!
Friends in the Wild ages 5-9 July 6-10 from 9am-3pm
This program is all about diving deep into one’s imagination with a little help from one’s friends. Children will pick a stuffed animal from home to bring into the woods this week. They will enjoy handcrafting items for their special stuffies and taking them on sensational journeys such as having mud play and “bath time.” This week will inspire hours of pretend play out in the wild.
Cast Aways ages 7-12 July 20-24 from 9am-3pm
A brand new week long adventure for 2020 where children’s survival instincts and imagination are challenged. “Stranded” on a deserted island, children are given only the bare essential to make their own little world in the woods. Each day is filled with adventure and excitement as the theme unfolds and children build huts, tools, rafts and more!
Barefoot and Buckets ages 5-9 July 27-31 from 9am-3pm
This program emanates childhood days past. A traditional TimberNook program where young children have unique play experiences that challenge their mind and body in beautiful natural settings, followed by hours of play. They’ll be doing everything from building dams to alter the flow of water to creating clever castles in the woods. And so much more!
Extreme Art ages 7-12 August 10-14 from 9am-3pm
Children will work together to create a grand-scale art fair from scratch. They will be designing their own art pieces, creating art exhibits, and then selling their merchandise at the end of the week to “paying customers.” If you think your child will enjoy art experiences orchestrated through play, then this is the program for them!

Storybook - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by crysi2002
I can not say enough wonderful things about this program and the women who facilitate this program. My daughter comes home everyday from camp telling us wonderful stories of adventure and friendship that has developed from programming at Timbernook. Carmen and Laura's dedication to these kids is soo very evident from the personal greeting my child and I get in the morning, personal reports of the day at pick up, and the knowledge they have about my child's interests. Also as a mom of a young child, it is soo wonderful that I get soo many pictures of her day that I can later share with my child to hear the marvelous stories of adventure that she had.

This was the best experience that I could of hoped for. My child and I were greeted every morning with enthusiasm and I when I left her there with the staff I drove away feeling great about the adventures she would have. What adventures they were!! Everyday she would get in the car and tell me stories about her day that led to great discussions and even projects at home. The staff are wonderful here and I cant wait until next year when our daughter is there again!

Our children (ages 6 and 4) loved Timbernook “Friends in the Wild” camp. It was an amazing experience for them where they had the opportunity to meet new friends and use their big imaginations!

Enchanted - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by Angela Morrison
The magic is in the mess, the discovery: the mud, rocks, water, moss, finding a toad, failing at building a bridge and trying again, the team work, the imagination, the fort building, the pretending, and doing all of the things your parents would tell you not to do because you would get too dirty. I am so glad our kiddos and so many of their friends got to partake in this magic.

My kiddos are so in LOVE with Timber Nook. It’s play the way I remember it as a kid. My sister and I would grab a bunch of stuff, inside and out of the house and create our own fun. We would make our own games and our own rules. We would use our imagination and nobody told us what to play or how to play. Timber Nook is child-centered, creative, team work, problem solving fun. It is an awesome experience for kids to be able to choose their own fun with adults that embrace all of their cool ideas and tell them to go for it! There are fun activities for the kids each day, but the direction the play takes is led by the kids.

This camp is magical. Both my eight and four-year-olds enjoyed the imaginative play and freedom to make their own choices. The theme was perfect for adventure and exploration. Thank you for a great camp experience.
