Each week Timber Lake Camp offers intensive instruction in a specific sport as a part of its Hard Core Sports Program.   Campers, ages 9-12, can sign-up weekly to participate in three days of intensive instruction. The program is designed to increase each camper's skills in a fun and exciting environment. Sessions include early morning practices and drills, along with late night scrimmages and games under the lights on TLC's premier sports facilities.

Augmenting Timber Lake's already exceptional sports staff, the Hard Core Sports program utilizes visiting Division I college coaches, Major League coaches, and professional athletes, providing campers with the highest level of instruction. Whatever the camper's prior skill level, Hard Core provides an opportunity to improve, while increasing self-confidence and self-esteem.
