Tour this Summer!

Spend a morning or afternoon with us and see the TLC experience in action!

Upon arrival, your child will be introduced to his camper and counselor hosts. These hosts will take your child on a full tour of our campus, participating in activities he/she enjoys the most and meeting our campers and counselors along the way! And, if they are feeling up for it, a ride down our 225 ft. waterslide!

While your son or daughter is getting to know Timber Lake from a camper’s point of view, we’ll take you around for a tour of your own! In addition to showing you around our beautiful campus and first-rate facilities, more importantly, the tour is an opportunity for us to get to know you, your family and to learn more about what you looking for out of the summer camp experience for your child. Afterwards, you’ll spend some time with Jay & Mindy, enjoying refreshments and asking any questions you have about our camp program.

 Every Saturday, just before dinner, the full camp meets for our weekly “STARFISH LINE-UP.”  The STARFISH VALUES PROGRAM teaches and promotes our camp’s values: Sportsmanship, Tolerance, Appreciation, Respect, Friendship, Integrity, Sensitivity and Helpfulness.  At our half-hour camp gathering, one value is featured, while campers and staff who have exemplified each of our STARFISH values are recognized before the camp.  Watching a STARFISH LINE-UP at the end of an afternoon touring TLC is a great way to get a taste of the developmental impact our program has on our campers.
