Staff at Timberlake

Staff Philosophy

An average of 200 children each week come to camp. We have approximately 50 Summer Staff to meet the needs of each of these campers. Our staff is carefully selected based upon their excellent work records and references. They are dedicated to helping youth and have the highest integrity, personal and spiritual maturity. Each staff member has completed an extensive application, given two references, completed a personal interview, passed a check by the Nebraska Social Services, and after their acceptance, has attended a 40 hour pre-camp training session. We realize that the staff will make or break your child's experience at camp and that is why we take our responsibility so seriously.

Junior Cabin Leader/Junior Wrangler Program - Sr. High Students

The Junior Cabin Leader / Junior Wrangler program is designed to provide opportunities for high school students to minister. JCLers assist the cabin leader with all cabin responsibilities. JWLers work with the wranglers. Timberlake is full for Junior Wranglers for this season (summer 2007), but has plenty of openings for Junior Cabin Leaders.

You will stay in a cabin and work with one of our cabin leader staff. JCL staff gain skills of shepherding and leadership. Students also help with kitchen and horsemanship duties.

To apply for the program, fill out the following application and mail to TRC. There is a $40 cost per week. JCLers/JWLers that serve two weeks are invited to attend the end of summer "JCL/JWL Attack".
