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.

My girls had a blast playing in the woods, they came home bursting with fun stories about their adventures! It was great to hear about the kids taking risks, trying new things and being creative.

Barefoot and Buckets Summer Camp - TimberNook of Greater Portland, Maine

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!

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.

Storybook Summer Camp - TimberNook of Greater Portland, Maine
reviewed by Kjsglocke
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.
