Peterborough, Ontario
Timbernook-Peterborough, a division of Compass Early Learning and Care, brings transformative, sensory rich outdoor experiences to Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Timbernook-Peterborough strives to provide authentic, inspiring creative play in the great outdoors.
Overview
While we use a variety of fantastic locations here at Timbernook-Peterborough, our main site is located at Northcote Campus, part of Lakefield College School. This historic property once belonged to beloved Peterborough resident, Dr Gastle.
Our "hollow", as we affectionately call it, is nestled inside 160 acres of varying landscape- tall cedar trees, swampy marshes and beautiful shorelines of Lake Katchewanooka. There are endless nooks and crannies to explore, small wildlife and birds to observe, and magical places to get lost in imagination.

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.

Barefoot and Buckets - TimberNook London
reviewed by Yvonne.radman@gmail.com
My girls had the best time! They loved (or didn‘t mind) getting dirty and enjoyed being out and about doing stuff they normally wouldn‘t. Usually they get bored after two days at any camp but they were looking forward to going to TimberNook every morning! Great team as well, we will be back for more!
