Barefoot and Buckets - TimberNook Northwest Oregon
reviewed by Olivia
Barefoot & Buckets was our first TimberNook program and each day with different sensory activities was memorable! Nicole, Laura, and the team are so kind and communicative. The daily summaries with photos are fun to look through and help spark conversation about the day. Summer weather can be tricky with an outdoor program so we dressed in appropriate layers, wore a swimsuit under clothes and included a towel on water play days, applied sunblock upon arrival, wore a sunhat, and packed extra fruits to help stay hydrated and energized. We look forward to future offerings!

Storybook was our second TimberNook program and each day with different story themes was memorable! We checked out the same books from the library to keep the memories going.

This program is so incredibly special. My 8 year old son loved it! To be able to play freely and get creative while in nature is all I wanted for him. He had a blast outside with these camp counselors. It’s a must do camp! Thank you Nicole and all of the other instructors!!!❤️

Castaways - TimberNook of Greater Cleveland
reviewed by dawncpgardiner
My three children loved this program. They came home full of happiness. They grew closer together as siblings, made new friends, and renewed old friendships. The activities were excellent. My second oldest son would always beat me in any way possible when playing a game with me. After 2 weeks of timbernook this summer, he developed compassion and actually let me win the last 3 games we played together. Timbernook is a transformative experience in a loving and supportive atmosphere. Miss Brenda is amazing.

Barefoot and Buckets - TimberNook of Greater Cleveland
reviewed by dawncpgardiner
WE LOVE TIMBERNOOK! My kids (ages 4 and 8) attended this and loved it! They came back covered in mud and gleefully happy every day. They got to play with friends (new and old) and explore and learn. My two oldest children (8 and 10) have grown so much from Timbernook and Miss Brenda's loving care. They love her, and we are so grateful to her for all she does. The camp provides a chance to for kids to explore nature and play in an unstructured manner with peers. Kids are given a chance to do amazingly fun things and challenge themselves. I could NOT be happier with this program. My kids returned happy and exhausted every day full of pure joy. Especially after covid-time, my kids needed this chance for growth, connection with peers, and time in nature.

I can’t say enough positive things about this camp. The director and counselors put so much thought into the activities offered but then take a mindful step back to let kids do what they do best, PLAY! Camp weeks are my son’s favorite part of summer!

Wild Ones - TimberNook Los Angeles
reviewed by Grahamdad
The Wildwood Picnic area proved an ideal setting for the children to explore the river, play games like tug of war, tire-rolling, and more. Sarah and the facilitators provided plenty of cool raw materials and cozy comforts like a fire pit for smores so there were plenty of settings for kids' individual preferences. When there were behavioral challenges, the kids were able to work things out in the end. The photos, quotes and post-session write-ups were fun to read as well. Thanks for the great experience on behalf of my son.
