Teacher, Counselor, School Staff Introduction Letter
Timbertop is an overnight camp designed for youth ages 8-14 that have been identified by their School District as needing extra help for a special learning need. Specific learning disabilities may include: OHI, ADHD, ADD, LD and SLD. Youth receiving support services such as Leveled Learning Intervention (LLI), Reading Support and Title 1, are also eligible. This summers Timbertop Camp information is available on our web site on the Registration/Forms Page.
Timbertop combines traditional camp activities with extra reading practice and special group activities that focus on dealing with learning differences in a structured daily setting. We are dedicated to providing a safe, fun and small group environment, which develops the spirit, mind and body of each individual. Camp is a special place where youth and teens learn about the environment, develop positive values, make meaningful friendships, build positive peer relationships, learn new skills and increase self-confidence. In our community of caring adults Timbertop summer camp helps kids grow and find themselves. Parents and teachers of campers have been overwhelmingly positive about the experience their children have had while at camp.
