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 - 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.

Friends in the Wild - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by Angela Morrison
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.
