There’s no place like camp!

There’s nothing like a Camp Tall Timbers summer! There’s no better place to be yourself! Camp Tall Timbers is a family-owned co-ed camp for boys

Today’s kids live in a very stressful world, and modern life has put them on a short leash. Camp unplugs them and opens their eyes to the natural world. We build community and confidence.

There are no better friends than camp friends! We believe that every camper is a unique individual with limitless potential. It’s our job to inspire them, and create an environment where every camper can shine. While we offer an incredible array of activities that reflect the interests of today’s young people, Camp Tall Timbers is really about time-honored values — honesty, friendship, skill-building, respect, teamwork, confidence, creativity, and self discovery. Camp Tall Timbers’ wooded campus and modern facilities support an active camp agenda. We offer an unparalleled array of sports activities, including a full performing and creative arts program. With our private lake and pool, and on-site riding stables, there’s never a dull moment or an opportunity for a camper to be bored.

An overarching goal of camp is to help campers improve and develop social and interpersonal skills and develop self esteem. That’s why we see the bunk as the heart of the camp experience. Campers live together in a cabin or tent with peers and counselors where they quickly become a cohesive and inclusive unit. Campers eat with their bunkmates and counselors and every week includes a Bunk Night, to deepen the bonds of friendship.

The best gift my parents gave my sister and me was the gift of camp. As a former camper, Camp Tall Timbers has given me lifetime friendships, selfconfidence, and the ability to try new things. Today, as the mother of two campers, I love that they are able to try new things in a safe and controlled environment, knowing they are experiencing what I did at their age. – Cindy Perkins, former camper and CTT parent

Camp Tall Timbers challenges kids to do, dare, and dream! Sports Team and individual sports, plus clinics and instruction, are integral parts of our athletics program. Camp is the perfect place to try a new sport without the pressure to win or “make the team.” Both boys and girls participate in a noncompetitive league program where the emphasis is on sportsmanship and fair play. Private half-hour instruction in tennis and golf is also available for an additional fee.

Equestrian Program Well-schooled horses give campers a chance to experience Western seat riding through our American Camp Association Accredited Riding Program. We take the time to evaluate campers interested in riding, matching their abilities with the right skill level class. In our sandfilled ring, campers gain and improve their horsemanship skills along wooded trails that let us enjoy the great outdoors. As riding skills improve, we challenge campers by providing safe advanced activities including barrels, roping and more.

Aquatics With a private lake and a pool, our water skills program has it all. Campers are assessed for their swimming ability and are placed in groups to build and stroke knowledge and confidence. They can also progress through the Red Cross Achievement program. Other water activities include canoeing, paddle boats, paddle boards, kayaks, tubing and water skiing.

There’s nothing like trying new things ! Camp Tall Timbers features great trails for hiking, biking and horses and our own private lake. Our modern facilities include mountain board course, baseball diamond, 6-hole putting green and driving range, gymnasium with weight room, riding stables, zip line, climbing wall, soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, roller hockey facilities, athletic field with uprights, riflery range, art studio, performance stage and so much more. e se and Shin First Bell – Ri M A 8:00 Breakfast 8:20 AM n Up fts?

With guidance from their counselors, campers build their own daily schedules based on their interests. We believe that giving campers some control over what they do and when they do it creates the best camp experience. We operate on a 5 period day, and on an A, B, C, day rotation, so every day is different. There’s no such thing as a “typical day” -- it’s all about choices! The schedule also builds in “Free Swims,” or down time where campers are free to swim, play cards, or have a pickup baseball game – anything they choose, always under counselor supervision.

The Arts Self-expression and hands-on activities are central themes of our fine arts program. Our art studio and performance stage support a wide range of creative activities. Arts & Crafts, Aerobics, Newspaper, Model Rocketry, Dramatics, Dance, Painting, and Pottery all play an active role in the program. Our campers develop self-confidence while enhancing their individual talents. All campers have an opportunity to participate in the camp musical each session.

Challenge Program The goal of our Challenge Program is to teach teamwork and build self-confidence. We offer a 2-sided climbing wall that introduces campers to the Challenge Program. Our Low Elements course, with its spider web and low wire, builds problem-solving skills, and encourages participants to trust their team members. The popular Zip Wire is the culmination of the program, allowing campers to experience the incredible thrill of safely “flying” through the woods while completely harnessed, helmeted and fastened to the zip line.

CTT is a place where everyone gets along and where counselors and kids of different ages are truly one big community. The team building activities, particularly the evening activities, are amazing. – Laurie Rosenthal Seiler
