Testimonials
TLC Staff Blog Articles
I honestly cannot express my gratitude enough, but I just thought I'd let you know that it's not just the children whose lives that the camp impacts; that I will never, ever forget the summers spent at camp. I will always consider TLC my second home.

All I have to say is that I will be coming back for as many summers as I can because I love it!
Working with a great group of kids who were so willing to listen and learn was definitely something I will never forget. As I sit back and reflect on the summer from home, I realize not only how much I was able to teach the kids, but how much I learned about myself and how I grew as a person.
A day doesn't go by without a thought about the summer. I am so excited for next summer, and I think I now realize what draws people back to work year after year at TLC. Again, I thank you for endless memories and friendships that I have formed in a seemingly short amount of time.
Timber Lake will always be a part of my childhood & a part of growing up. It's very sad to me that I must let go of this part of my life and move on, but it's time to concentrate on my career. As a counselor and group leader, I have grown to love my campers and will miss them all.

I've been thinking about camp since I left last night. The summer flew by and I can not believe it is over. I was surprised by my lack of tears and I was wondering why I was not so emotional yesterday. And I finally figured it out... For the first time ever, the quote, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened," means so much to me. I am so grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to spend another amazing summer with all of you.
When I was told that this would be the summer of a lifetime, that I would make friends that to last a lifetime and that I would cry when I had to say goodbye to my campers, I wasn't really convinced. However, now 3 months later, I totally agree with every word and I can't believe I was so naive. I can't believe I was lucky enough to get to be part of an amazing team in such an outstanding camp.

More than that, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the past 14 years. You have given me a second home and one that I consider to pretty much be the happiest place on earth. The friends I have made at Timber Lake and the memories I have are some of the most important things in my life. I am thankful that Timber Lake is such a huge part of my life. No matter where I am or what I am doing, I won't be able to leave it behind.
