Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
TimberNook is a nature-based program that is designed to be a sensory rich play experience that restores the mind and body. TimberNook inspires change in children through the natural environment and child driven free play. Children have an unhurried opportunity to explore and immerse themselves in deep meaningful play using the worldwide curriculum. Our location is 15 min east of Saskatoon and the rolling prairies hills and forest are the backdrop for this grand play.
Overview
TimberNook Saskatoon is a true private prairie oasis on 160 acres. You enter through the “sister trees” and follow a winding path into the bluff of poplar trees to “the clearing” where our campfire is located. Our location has many other enchanted spots such the hidden hollows, the willows, a mud pit, a gentle seasonal stream, and lots of open rolling hills of natural prairie grasslands. We provide the props and initial inspiration, and the children use their imaginations and creativity to create experiences they will never forget. Come play the TimberNook way!

Enchanted - TimberNook Moose Mountain Region
reviewed by Jhavage
My 9 year old son has enjoyed every minute of Enchanted and can't wait to join other programs offered by Timber Nook. His only disappointment is that it has to come to an end. Every day starts with a song and a greeting, Followed by snack time and a group reading of the days story book. After the story is read they cooperatively re-enact the story and have experiences in the forest as the characters in the book did. The teachers are patient and kind and let the kids find the best way to express themselves, problem solve & interact with the other children. They encourage the kids to do whatever moves them even if that means getting a little messy. The teachers do all the clean up so that the kid's creativity is not inhibited by the thought that they have to clean up everything they create. When my son comes home he is alive and excited and can't wait to share everything he did and experienced. I couldn't be happier that Timber Nook has moved into our little town and I strongly recommend this program! Jennifer

Extreme Art - TimberNook Central Ohio
reviewed by swittsto
Our child absolutely loves Timbernook and looks forward to going back every summer. We love getting pictures and reports of what the kids do each day. The staff is amazing, extremely caring, and we love that they have experience working with special needs children. They are such an encouragement to us and our child. I highly recommend this program!

Barefoot and Buckets - TimberNook Central Ohio
reviewed by kcoen
Krista and her staff are nothing short of AMAZING! They are so sweet with the kids and you can tell she really cares about all of them and making sure they have an awesome experience. The structure (or lack of) is what we loved most about this camp- kids can be KIDS and not have to follow a strict set routine, they play outside the entire time and are encouraged to get messy, dirty, creative and have fun. We just love it.

Storybook - TimberNook Central Ohio
reviewed by Sarahwill
This is a fantastic experience for all kids. They learn and explore in one of the most beautiful spots in Delaware OH. My autistic son struggles at times but they are experienced and fully capable of fulfilling his needs. This is one of the best camps around. He is still asking about going to the camp in the woods (probably for the water slide!!!)

Village Folks - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by SymonsFam6108
What an absolutely amazing experience for my kids (ages 7 and 11)! They were able to really dive into the depths of their imagination and were encouraged to be as creative as they’d like. I thoroughly enjoyed the daily emails including pictures and quotes from the day, it was so fun going through them with the kids and hearing all about it- it truly made me feel like I was able to experience it alongside them! Overall wonderful program that allows kids to be KIDS! I will recommend to everyone!

Village Folks - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by Tracicutler
As an elementary education teacher of 20 years and mother of 3 school age children that have attended Timbernook, I highly recommend this program! My children asked after day 1 why they can’t do the camp all summer. I thought they’d change their minds after a few days but, at the last day, it was the same response. My kids love Timbernook and each day can’t stop talking about what they did, friends they made, and future ideas they came up with during camp as well that they want to put into motion. Great program!

Storybook - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by ErinBowden
My kids love TimberNook! Each day the kids had opportunities to make a different storybook come to life in their cute, imaginative ways. Strega Nona’s pasta, Walter the Baker’s bakery, making mailboxes and deliveries, banking with walnuts, pinecones, and gems found in the forest. They loved to play in the creek, climb, get messy, and make friends.

Absolutely love everything about this camp! Where kids just get to be kids, explore nature, and have fun. The Storybook week was cute and gave the kids a different theme in the woods each day. Will definitely be back.
