It is with a great deal of sadness that I report the news of the passing of Sy Lebenger. Sy was the Director of Timber Lake Camp since it was founded in 1962 through 1983. Sy was my camp director. He was 85.
Sy, along with his partner, Ralph Bannet, founded Timber Lake. He was a force to be reckoned with. In the early years, campers first set eyes on him as their bus to camp rounded the turn in the road at the bottom of the steep, then unpaved hill, that took them into camp. Sy, in a worn Timber Lake T-shirt, covered by a open denim jacket and jeans, scraggly straw hat on his head and the permanent scowl he wore on his face would meet every bus as it pulled up. Campers would transfer into open rack trucks for the last half mile into camp.

This past Wednesday, TLC hosted nine boys basketball teams to fight for the title of 2010 Jacobs Cup Champions. Contenders from Westmont, Seneca Lake, Lokanda, Pontiac, Camp Echo, Kinder Ring, Camp Wayne and our sister camp, Tyler Hill arrived at TLC mid-morning for the coin toss to determine the first round of match-ups.
This annual tournament is one of the most coveted titles in all of camping, and from the moment camp began this summer, the 13 players and 2 coaches that comprised TLC’s team had one goal – to BRING BACK THE CUP! After a 4-year drought, it was time to make it rain in the Timber Dome!

This past Saturday was Timber Lake’s first Rookie Day for summer 2010! Rookie Day is a day when potential campers (“Rookies”) and their parents come to Timber Lake while camp is in session to experience what we’re all about. It’s kind of like a test drive for next summer – a way for parents & campers to get to know us better, while taking part in lots of awesome camp activities! After spending just 1 day with us, many of our Rookie Day families enroll for the following summer as official TLC campers.

The moment everyone had been waiting for… The buses rolled in to Timber Lake at 2:30pm this past Saturday! The 6 buses from Long Island & 3 from Paramus rolled in to camp within 15 minutes of each other, dropping off all our campers on the girl’s lower basketball court. As the bus doors opened, campers streamed out with so much excitement, while their eyes scanned the cheering crowd to find familiar faces of camp friends and former counselors. There were hugs, smiles and laughter all around.

This week Timber Lake Camp welcomed staff old and new from all over the world to kick off what is going to be another amazing summer! From the moment when the first staff arrived, the week was filled with informative and fun activities that allowed new counselors to learn and appreciate what Timber Lake Camp is all about. From STARFISH to a mock sing night, to the camp Alma Mater. The camp spirit has begun to ignite amongst these trusty hills once again. We are prepared for opening day and our staff is looking forward to making summer 2010 at Timber Lake Camp the best one yet!

If your house is like my house, there are piles of clothing sitting in the living room along with an assortment of sports equipment, toiletries, and other assorted camp paraphernalia all waiting to be stuffed into duffel bags crumpled up on the couch. There is still some labeling to do and a few more vital supplies to pick-up before every last bit is ready. It will really never be fully ready and I know we’ll forget an item or two, but that’s what UPS is for. Yes, it’s clearly camp time!

How excited are you for camp to begin??!!!!!! Well, we’re excited too! In honor of camp being just around the corner, we thought we’d share our favorite family friendly camp movies to get you in the mood! So pop the popcorn, dim the lights, snuggle-up with your favorite blanket and throw any one of these flicks in your DVD/VCR player (or get it online – Netflix perhaps?). By the time the credits roll, you’ll have your bags packed and be ready to hop on the bus up to camp!
