Senior High Classic Camp at Camp Timber-lee

Give every high school student the chance to unwind, recharge, and experience something real this summer. At Senior High Classic Camp, we invite students entering grades 8 through 10 or 9 through 12 to disconnect from the digital noise and reconnect with what matters—friendships, faith, fun, and freedom.

At Camp Timber-lee, our Classic Camp program is built on the belief that high school students thrive when given time to breathe, reflect, and grow. Whether you're looking for a thrill-packed adventure or some much-needed rest and reflection, Classic Camp delivers a highly customizable, unforgettable summer experience.

This is your week to just be you—free from the constant pressures of screens, school, and social media. Step into a space where community, faith, and nature come together to create memories that last far beyond the summer.

What Is Classic Camp for Senior High?

Senior High Classic Camp is the ultimate week of camp, specifically designed for high school students. Our goal is to provide a balanced, flexible camp environment where every student feels welcomed, seen, and empowered to grow—spiritually, emotionally, and socially.

Each day at camp is crafted with intention:

• 
  
• Mornings are high-energy and community-focused, kicking off with all-camp games and challenges that build camaraderie and joy.
  
  
• Afternoons are yours to design—choose from an exciting lineup of activities that reflect your passions, from water sports to creative arts.
  
  
• Evenings are centered around worship, teaching, and deep conversations, giving you a chance to connect with God and others in meaningful ways.

Morning Mayhem: All-Camp Energy and Excitement

Each day begins with a dose of pure camp energy. Mornings at Senior High Classic Camp are packed with large-group games, engaging competitions, and camp-wide events that get your blood pumping and your laughter flowing. Whether you're racing through obstacle courses, competing in Timber-lee's epic team challenges, or jumping into a massive game of capture the flag, you'll kick off the day with unforgettable moments alongside your fellow campers.

These all-camp activities foster team spirit and make it easy to meet new people—perfect for first-time campers and returning friends alike. Morning programming is designed to wake you up in the best way possible: with movement, music, and meaningful connection.

Chapel Sessions: Worship, Word, and Real Connection

At the heart of Classic Camp is our commitment to helping students grow in their faith. Each evening features a powerful chapel session designed to meet high school students where they are—engaging, authentic, and deeply encouraging.

Chapel includes:

• 
  
• Uplifting Worship: Led by gifted musicians and worship leaders who know how to bring energy, joy, and reverence to our time together.
  
• Relevant Teaching: Hear from speakers who aren’t afraid to talk about real-life struggles, victories, and the hope we find in Jesus Christ.
  
• Small Group Time: After chapel, cabins break into smaller groups to talk about what they’ve heard, share their thoughts, and pray together. These conversations often become the most memorable and meaningful moments of the week.
  
  

Our chapel sessions are more than a program—they’re a space for transformation. Whether you’re solid in your faith or exploring what you believe, Classic Camp is a safe, encouraging place to ask questions, seek truth, and experience God in a fresh way.
