A Christian Summer Camp made for Young Kids

Action Sports Camp is a specialty program at Camp Timber-lee that focuses on high-adrenaline activities crafted specifically for middle school campers. This isn’t your average week at camp—this is a full-throttle, action-oriented experience designed to challenge you, build confidence, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

At the heart of Action Sports Camp is our mission: to provide campers with the opportunity to challenge themselves physically and spiritually while surrounded by nature and supported by a vibrant, Christ-centered community. Each day is filled with new opportunities to engage, learn, and grow—not just in athletic skill, but in personal strength and faith.

a week of exciting activities

Throughout the week, campers will take part in a variety of thrilling and engaging activities. Each one is designed to get your heart pumping, your mind focused, and your body moving. Let’s take a closer look at some of the highlights:

Gellyball Battles

Prepare yourself for fast-paced, team-based fun with Gellyball—a safe and exciting alternative to paintball. Gellyball uses soft, water-based gel balls and lightweight blasters that allow for adrenaline-pumping gameplay without the sting. Dive behind cover, outmaneuver your opponents, and communicate with your teammates to win these epic, high-energy battles. It’s fast, furious, and totally fun.

Gellyball promotes teamwork, strategy, and quick thinking, and it’s an awesome way to bond with your fellow campers. Whether you're dodging incoming fire or launching a surprise attack, every match is a new adventure.

Rappelling Adventures

Face your fears and take on the challenge of rappelling down Timber-lee’s towering climbing wall. With guidance from our trained staff, you’ll learn all about the gear, technique, and safety involved before stepping over the edge. Rappelling isn’t just about the thrill of the descent—it’s about building courage, confidence, and trust in yourself and your abilities.

This is one of those rare experiences that leaves you feeling stronger than before. Many campers walk away saying, “I didn’t think I could do that—but I did.” And that’s exactly the kind of confidence we love to help build.

Paintball Showdowns

Gear up for some of the most intense action at camp. Our paintball course is the perfect setting for team strategy, high-stakes fun, and competitive spirit. Surrounded by natural terrain and man-made bunkers, you and your teammates will plan your moves, execute your tactics, and compete for the win in thrilling paintball battles that challenge both your reflexes and your teamwork.

Paintball at Timber-lee is more than just a game—it’s a lesson in communication, collaboration, and courage. Plus, it’s just a whole lot of fun.

Trapshooting

Step up to the range and try your hand at trapshooting, one of our most unique and skill-focused activities. Under the careful instruction of our trained staff, you’ll learn to safely handle and fire a shotgun at clay targets flying through the air. This activity is a great way to build focus, discipline, and hand-eye coordination—all while having a blast.

For many campers, this is a brand-new experience. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of hitting your first clay target—it’s exciting, empowering, and just plain cool.
