Timber-lee Christian Center

A week at camp brings all the best parts of summer together. Go for a swim, play in a tournament, grab a snack, make a leather craft, hit the climbing tower. There’s plenty to do and sometimes the week isn’t long enough for everything! Your counselor will be there to lead you along the way. Great activities with great new friends and a central purpose of increasing your faith in Jesus make a Timber-lee experience unforgettable. Energetic worship music and an amazing speaker really encourage you to connect with God. You can’t help but go home with a renewed spirit!

“Care for the planet.” What does this mean for Christians? You hear it on the news and it’s written on your heart; you want to do something, but what? Meet and work alongside like-minded individuals to explore the wonders of God’s earth and make a positive difference in it. Campers will spend two hours each day investigating what kind of wildlife lives at Timber-lee, restoring a plot of endangered habitat and working to promote Earth stewardship in other campers – all for God’s glory! Spend the rest of your day enjoying the amazing activities and events of the Classic Camp program.

Join science and natural resource professionals as we explore many of Timber-lee’s diverse and unique wildlife communities. Whether in the forest, a wetland, or a Midwest savanna, you will get up close and personal with many amazing animals! Capture them, photograph them and collect an assortment of their food, tracks or other samples. Help us find the best way to care for the creatures that call Timber-lee home. There will be opportunities each day to participate in some of the other great Classic Camp activities and events.

If spending three hours a day around horses is your idea of fun, this is the camp for you! Western riding lessons in our outdoor arena, classes on horse care, safety and handling, and new and different aspects of horseback riding including vaulting, English riding and a trail ride will be a part of each week’s exciting program. This camp is for the beginner as well as the intermediate rider. Campers returning to or entering into the Trainers program have the chance to advance within the levels taught each year by mastering the appropriate skills.

Together we will spend the afternoons paintballing on our wooded and speedball courses, speeding up and down on mountain bike trails, climbing and rappelling at the tower and trap shooting at the local range. You’ll also have some time to participate in some of the other amazing activities Timber-lee has to offer. See note below for special activities exclusive to each session.

Load up the canoes and head out for a week of adventure! This is a guys-only trip that will lead you to grow in your faith while you learn to navigate the rapids of the Flambeau River.

Roughing it isn’t for everyone, we know! So come along on this trip designed for those interested in taking a step into wilderness without the full week commitment. This experience will give you a taste of what a Timber-lee Adventure Trip is like. We will meet at camp and then head up to Devil’s Lake State Park for some climbing, hiking and swimming and tons of fun! Your caring Adventure guide will challenge the way you think about the outdoors and God’s wondrous creation.

Whitewater rafting, rock climbing and spelunking. Enough said. This trip does it all in a week! Your journey begins as you head underground for some exploring of the incredible tunnels and caves of Western Wisconsin. Next you’ll turn your eyes upward as you prepare for your natural face climb at Devil’s Lake State Park. The week wraps up with an exciting run through the whitewater of the Wolf River. You’ll be challenged along the way by your Timber-lee Adventure guide to take steps in your journey of faith.

Have a thirst for some whitewater? Join us as we play in the rapids! Stow your gear in your canoe as we paddle to our riverside campsite in northern Wisconsin. We begin our journey with some whitewater canoeing on the Flambeau River. After three days on the Flambeau, trade your canoe for a raft as we tackle the rapids of the Wolf River. Your Adventure guide will be there to challenge you to grow in your faith as well as in your paddling skills.

Ladies, this trip is especially for you!

Experience gorgeous sunsets, deep conversations around the fire and rejuvenating encouragement on this incredible trip!

Pedal hard up the hills and fly down the other side. This trip takes you to some of the best single-track trails in Wisconsin, where you’ll learn how to improve your riding and how to maintain your bike after a good, hard ride. After a few days of biking, rest your legs as you conquer the whitewater river rapids of Northern Wisconsin. Spend your evenings camping out with time to review your day’s excitement and be challenged by your guides to take another step in your faith.
