The Heart of the Kids Summer Camp Experience

The bunk is where campers build relationships, learn teamwork and responsibility, and experience the freedom of living away from home. Cabin Nights are a weekly Camp Tall Timbers tradition, giving campers special time to really bond with each other and their counselors.

We Are Celebrating Over 50 Fabulous Years of Kids’ Summer Camp Adventures!

Benefits of summer camp at ctt

  • Announcements are made at every meal time to highlight camper accomplishments
  • Golden Feathers for each activity are awarded to those campers who showed particular effort, improvement, or skill throughout the session
  • Campers will experience Campfires, and weekly Cabin Nights every session
  • Campers live in a cabin or tent with peers and counselors, where they will undertake the responsibilities of keeping the area clean and making group decisions
  • Campers will decide on their very own activities schedule and when they would like to participate in them
  • Campers are encouraged to learn at least one new skill while at camp, and most learn even more

And those are just a few highlights. For a full rundown of the benefits of summer camp, check out OUR BLOG about leadership skills learned through summer camp!

Bunk Living

Bunk Living icon

Though kids’ summer camp is largely about getting in touch with nature, basic living needs are still met. Our campers live in comfortable, modern cabins with electricity, bathroom, and shower facilities. Campers have ample room to store all their belongings on shelves in the cabin. In each group, we have approximately 8 campers and a minimum of 2 senior counselors. Cabin counselors eat, sleep, and interact with their campers, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie and fun.

Older campers (9th grade and above) may team up with buddies in a 14’ X 16’ tent equipped with electricity. These campers have their own shower facilities.

Camp Safety

Your child’s safety at camp is our top priority.

Our ACA accreditation ensures we maintain a safe, quality kids’ summer camp environment for our campers and staff. We make sure to have an overall supervisor for all specialized activities, who is a certified adult with experience and documented training. We uphold strict operating procedures. All water activities are managed by certified lifeguards.

Have a question regarding how we handle food allergies, medication administration, or other camp safety policies and procedures?

Medical

At kids’ summer camp, accidents can happen, and we’re prepared for such possibilities. Medical coverage includes a Registered Nurse 24/7, and our well-equipped health center is ready to handle any situation around the clock. Campers’ medication is stored under lock and key as required by the American Camp Association and is brought to campers at the time called for by the doctor’s instruction. All of our medical staff are licensed by the State of West Virginia.

Healthy Food

The dining room is the hub of the camp where everyone eats together. We serve well-balanced, buffet-style meals prepared by a professional kitchen staff. Breakfasts include hot and cold options, plus a full cereal bar. Saturday mornings feature fresh bakery items, ending the week on a special note.
