In our ongoing efforts to serve our campers better, we are asking for your help in ensuring that all camper luggage transported by Timber-lee staff arrives safely and efficiently. Please make sure that all items you’d like delivered to the cabins on Sunday at arrival and back to the parking area on Saturday for departure are packed within a clearly labeled duffle bag, suitcase, or backpack. Thank you in advance!

In the best interest of all concerned, and to promote a good camp community experience, any camper whose behavior is, in the judgment of the camp leadership, disruptive or unruly will have their parents notified and could be sent home.

If you are planning to be away from home during your child’s stay at Camp Timber-lee, please make sure our office has clear information about how to reach you in case of an emergency. In the event of an emergency situation, to relay an urgent message to your child, please call the Timber-lee main office at 262.642.7345.

HEALTH SERVICES

If you haven’t sent in your Camper Health Form or completed it online during registration, please present it at the time of check-in. Be sure it is signed by a parent or guardian.

To ensure the best possible experience for all concerned, children must maintain their normal medication patterns while at camp or, if changing, must have any behavior-affecting medications adjusted by their physician and in effect at least four weeks prior to coming to camp. All prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, as well as vitamins/supplements must be turned in at the time of check-in and will be dispensed by health services staff according to prescription directions. Please do not bring over-the-counter medication unless your child is on a regular schedule of taking these. If a need arises for an over-the-counter medication for your camper, it will be dispensed by Timber-lee’s Health Services Staff from our medical supplies.

Health care professionals are in residence and on duty for all camps. There is no charge for minor medical attention at the camp infirmary. In case of an accident or illness requiring X-rays, medication, prescription drugs, services of a hospital, physician, dentist, ambulance, or related services, the charges will be made to the parents or to the parents’ insurance carrier. Parents will be notified in the event medical treatment is necessary. If your child requires a prescription medication to be filled during their stay at camp, reimbursement of those costs may be requested.

DEPARTURE DETAILS

Please join our camper/parent farewell rally on Saturday in Poplar Grove beginning at 9 and ending at 9:30 am. See and hear music from the week with Timber-lee’s worship team as well as a short recap from our speaker. Please plan for extra time to park and walk over to the Farewell Rally. It begins promptly at 9 and we don't want you to miss it!

Upon picking up your camper they will need to be signed out by a parent or guardian with their camper’s Cabin Leader. If someone other than a parent or guardian will be picking up your camper, you can call us at 262-642-7345 or you can fill out a Camper Pickup Release Form upon drop-off.

Please note that our summer staff are here because they love Jesus and they love kids. As they are paid staff, they are unable to accept gratuity. We kindly ask that you encourage your camper to make and send a thank you card to his or her counselor or consider a charitable donation to camp.

• Final payment for camp is due May 30, 2024 or upon registration after that date.

• Cancellations more than two weeks prior to arrival date will receive a refund less the $125 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit. No refunds will be made for cancellations within two weeks of camp start date. No refunds will be made for dismissals due to disciplinary action, late arrivals, or early departures

• Since campers have been entrusted into the care of Camp Timber-lee, no camper is permitted to leave camp, for any reason, with friends or other family members without the duly signed permission of a parent or guardian.

• Camper's cell phones are on the "leave at home" list and campers do not have readily available access to phones. In the case of an emergency, call the camp office who will take appropriate actions.

• Items on the “leave at home” list will be collected, kept safe, and returned at the end of the week.

• Items that end up in our Lost & Found will be set aside for later pick-up. If you leave items at camp and would like them mailed back to you, appropriate packaging and postage costs will be charged. Please visit our website at timber-lee.com to fill out the lost and found online Form.
