Children and Youth Camps at Timberlake

Camp Start
Ages 6-9

There is never a dull moment at Treetopper Camp.  The moment you step on the site a cabin leader will be there to meet you.

For the entire week your cabin leader will make sure you have a great time.  They will help you get involved in all the camp activities.  Don't worry, you will be so busy with fun things to do, camp will be over before you know it.  You'll love the songs, fantastic speakers and original skits at evening chapel.  You will learn, grow, meet new friends and totally love your week at Timberlake.

Tree topper Cabins are built on stilts so they put you up amongst the trees.  Each cabin has electricity.  Your cabin leader sleeps in the cabin with you and your 7 bunkmates.

Optional Camp Activities for Fort and Treetopper Campers

Paintball:
For Fort Campers Only.

On the registration form there is a place for you to purchase as many hoppers as you want.  You must have parental permission before you play.  There are approximately 200 paintballs in a hopper.  (Cost is $10 per hopper)  Depending on how you play, a hopper will last for 1-3 games.  All games are supervised by trained staff.  You must use Timberlake equipment and paintballs.  Rules are strictly enforced.

Horse Trail Rides:
Treetopper and Fort Campers

Treetopper and Fort Campers have the option to take horse trail rides.  (Cost $4 each ride)  On the registration form there is a place for you to purchase as many rides as you want.  Trail rides last approximately 45 minutes each.  We provide helmets and boots for you to wear. 

Cabin Leaders will help you get your games and rides scheduled.

Every year Fort Camp is just a little bit different.  Activities like the evening hike to a remote part of the camp where you will fix your own supper over a campfire will keep you busy all week.

In Fort Camp:
mornings are group scheduled activities, afternoon is cabin activity time and the evenings are all camp chapel and large scale camp games.  During the day we do allow time to hang out with your friends or relax.  There is a lot going on but it's not overwhelming.  Here in the heart of the Platte River Valley it doesn't get any better than this.  The Fort is styled just like an old fort from the days of the pioneers.  Only difference is, the cabins have bathrooms and air conditioning!
