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.

Barefoot and Buckets Summer Camp - TimberNook of Greater Portland, Maine
reviewed by Nicole Lesavoy
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.

Little Wild Ones - TimberNook London
reviewed by Amybell
Thank you Ausra for another fantastic week of Timbernook this half term. My daughter absolutely loved it and has come away with more amazing stories of her experiences with you and your team. She also seemed completely unfazed by the fact it rained most of the week! Timbernook Wimbledon offers a brilliant opportunity for children to explore the outdoor world, really immerse themselves in it and gain new skills and confidence in what they can achieve if they just give things a go. I couldn't recommend it more highly!
