Here at Camp Tall Timbers we aim to:

• Improve and develop interpersonal and social skills.

• Stimulate camper’s self-esteem.

• Help campers appreciate the natural environment.

• Allow campers to experience group living.

• Give campers an opportunity to expand their independence.

• Provide the opportunity for campers to set goals, learn new skills and challenge themselves with progression.

How will we do this??

• Camper’s will make one new friend a day
• Announcements are made at every meal times to highlight camper accomplishments.
• Golden Feathers for each activity are awarded to those campers who showed particular effort/improvement/skill throughout the session.

• Campers will attend at least one camp fire and camp out at least once a session –‘Survivor/Cabin Night’.
• Each camper will live in either a cabin or tent with other peers and counselors where they will be required to undertake the responsibilities of keeping the area clean and making group decisions.
• Campers will, on the second day of camp, decide upon their own schedule and which classes they would like to take and when.
• Campers are encouraged to learn at least one new skill whilst at camp.
