Selecting the right camp for your child is both important and impactful. Camp is, for most people, an experience that can last for six or more years (with memories that last for many decades after!) At TLC, we know that such a big decision shouldn’t be made lightly, so we’ve specifically designed our Rookie Day Program to allow your child an opportunity to “taste” the sleep away camp experience, while giving you, as parents, a close-up look at our facilities, program, supervision and philosophy. Oh, and all the fun too :) (more…)

For the fourth year in a row, the Timber Lake Family of Camps has joined together for the holidays to make a difference in the greater Glen Cove community. Our winter office staff has again “adopted” several local families and has spent the past few weeks shopping to fulfill each family member’s holiday list. From socks and shoes to games, toys, books and winter coats, we’ve bought and wrapped it all! The gifts will be delivered by a fully suited TLC Santa Claus.
An extra thanks goes out to the many families from North Shore Day School and our other camp families that donated toys, gifts and clothes, and also to our camp families who so generously participated: Jason Littman & the Littman Family kindly donated rolls and rolls of wrapping paper; Michele and Steven Koss generously donated designer perfumes for the moms and older girls in each family; Michele and Evan Cagner donated dozens of pairs of shoes and boots. And another special thank you to the team behind FUSHIGI balls, who sent us these incredibly cool Fushigi balls that were at the top of every child’s list. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from our family to yours!

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! (more…)

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.

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!

I bet you’re wondering who those bearded guys are… And what to they have to do with TLC? Well, have you ever wondered what it would be like to play in a band in front of over 500 people? As luck would have it, this summer you just might find out! Julius C is heading our way and making a pit-stop this summer at TLC during their 5th Annual Summer Camp Tour. Julius C works with kids that want to play instruments and sing on stage during the day, and then they perform in front of the entire camp at night!

On that late August morning each summer as the buses roll out, as the waving continues until the last gate closes its doors, we travel home to meet our eagerly awaiting families as another summer ends. And hence, another school year begins.
The chill of winter has set in and Timber Lake is just about covered with snow. It must be a beautiful sight! Winter has its beauty but to all of us at Timber Lake there is nothing more exquisite than the sight of 7 coach buses rolling through the gates driving around the back boys row as our alma matter blares….the beginning of another magical summer. New campers, you will feel this too: Believe us all!!
Meanwhile, from the Long Island central hub, the management staff is crafting and molding the summer of 2010 filled with amazing and fun activities guaranteed to thrill us all…
From the desk of our new program director Robbie G….here is a dribbling of what to expect…. (more…)
