Shortcuts: Athletics Waterfront Electives Quest Program

Good sportsmanship, quality instruction, fun and safety! Our athletic program features quality instruction by our experienced coaches on outstanding facilities. The right balance between competition and just having fun allows every camper to be comfortable joining in, while promoting TEAMWORK AND SPIRIT. Winning is great, but our goal is that every camper walks off the field or court with more friends and feeling better about him or herself.

Our experienced Red Cross certified waterfront staff provides special attention to improving swim skills with the main emphasis, of course, on safety. Timber Lake's INDOOR heated pool sets us apart from all others and guarantees a swim program every day of the season, rain or shine. Our Olympic size OUTDOOR heated pool makes free swim a favorite activity, while our two completely private spring-fed lakes, right in the heart of camp, provide the thrill of waterskiing and an extensive boating, sailing and windsurfing program.

Each day campers select two activities from a wide variety of athletic, adventure oriented, performing or creative arts electives. Combined with our scheduled sports and waterfront activities, the Elective periods allow campers to customize their summer program. With over thirty activities to choose from, our extensive electives feature experienced teachers and coaches to ensure that campers get the highest quality of instruction in the areas of their greatest interest:

Our unique “Quest Program” teaches campers teambuilding and cooperation.  It lets kids practice group dynamic skills with their bunkmates, while building even stronger bonds of friendship - while having fun!  Through our multi-station high adventure course, your child can build self-confidence and trust by conquering new challenges in a completely safe environment.

Quest is scheduled weekly for each camper group, under careful staff supervision.  By operating as a team, the bunk unit becomes a more cohesive group, working together to accomplish an assortment of goals set in the early days of the summer.
