High-Octane Adventure: A Week They’ll Never Outgrow

For decades, families have trusted us to provide an outdoor, fresh-air experience that balances intense fun with unwavering safety. We understand that your top priority is the well-being of your child. We meet that need by creating a professional, secure environment that allows for true spiritual transformation.

Safety as the Foundation

Your teen’s safety is the baseline that makes every big move possible. We manage the details so they can focus on pushing their limits.

• Vetted Leadership: Every staff member is selected through a multi-stage process involving interviews with different leadership levels, professional reference checks, and thorough background screenings.
• Professional Health Oversight: Our medical protocols are signed off by an MD. From managing daily medications to providing professional care for the scrapes and bumps that come with an active week, your student is looked after with expert attention.
• A Culture of Accountability: We follow strict supervision standards, including the "Rule of Threes," to ensure that students are always in a safe, transparent, and supportive environment.
  

World-Class Fun with a Purpose

We believe kids were made to run, climb, and marvel at creation. We use big fun as a tool to show them they can do hard things.

• High-Flying Success: Our 900-foot zipline features four parallel lines so buddies can go together. This turns a moment of bravery into a shared victory.
• Waterfront Thrills: The Timber-lee lakefront features commercial-grade slides that shoot you out like a cannon into the water. These provide high-octane excitement similar to a major waterpark but in a beautiful wilderness setting.
• The Science Center: This unique, USDA-licensed facility houses over 60 species. From chinchillas to big rabbits, it offers a hands-on experience where kids can be around nature and marvel at the wonder of creation up close.
  

A Lasting Spiritual Impact

Our ultimate mission is to help your teen move from a borrowed faith to a personal relationship with their Savior.

The "Tech Detox": By removing phones, we remove the digital noise. This ensures our staff is 100% focused on your teen and that campers are building real-world friendships.

The Creation Walk: This is an immersive, 100% narrated experience where the floor lights up and the story of the world comes to life. It grounds teens in the truth of their design.

Mentorship That Listens:  Our counselors look teens in the eye, ask the big questions, and model a Christ-centered life through servant leadership.

Friendships Built for the Long Haul

At Timber-lee, we know that God designed us for beautiful horizontal relationships. In a world where digital connection leaves teens feeling more isolated, where loneliness is an epidemic, we provide a place where authentic, face-to-face bonding happens naturally.

Finding Their Crew 

When teens leave noise and routine behind, they rediscover the art of social interaction. Whether they are encouraging each other at the top of the climbing tower or sharing a laugh at the waterfront, they are building a foundation of community that doesn't rely on a mobile device.

Shared Victories and Lifetime BFFs 

There is a specific kind of bond that forms when you conquer a 900-foot zipline together or care for animals in the Science Center. These shared adventures turn cabin mates into lifelong friends. We hear stories every year of "camp besties" who continue to encourage each other in long after the session ends.

Mentorship That Matters 

Relationship-building doesn't stop with peers. Our counselors are trained to do more than just supervise; they are there to walk life with your teen. By asking the right questions and being fully present, they model what healthy, Christ-centered friendship looks like.

Arrival Day: Meeting the Crew

The week starts with immediate connection. Campers meet their cabin group and mentors to establish the social belonging that makes every adventure more meaningful.

Days Focused on Action: The Fresh-Air Experience

 Mornings and afternoons are dedicated to the green space. Teens push each other on the ziplines, conquer the high-ropes course, and hit the waterfront slides. Without the distraction of screens, the focus remains on progress, community, and the thrill of the challenge.

Faith That Connects: Chapel and Devotions

Daily worship and teaching are designed to connect the courage needed for the high-ropes with the identity found in Christ. These are the moments where the vertical relationship with God becomes a tangible reality.

Evening Energy: Traditions and Connection

 All-camp games and late-night cabin conversations are where lifelong friendships are cemented. These are the horizontal relationships God designed us for through shared experiences.

Heading Home with Confidence: A New Perspective

 By pickup day, you aren't just getting your teen back. You’re meeting a version of them that is more resilient, more independent, and proud of the hard things they conquered in the wilderness.
