We are celebrating over 50 Fabulous Years of Fun at Camp Tall Timbers, and it’s partly thanks to the quality and flexibility offered by our summer camp activities.
Camp Tall Timbers is all about fun. Athletics, social time, creative arts, and drama; it’s all here! Unique to Camp Tall Timbers, campers make their own schedules based on their individual interests.
We offer a wide variety of summer camp activities for our campers to choose from. Choice is an important part of our program. We take the time to individually schedule each of our campers so that their program is unique to them. This allows for a camper to be motivated to participate, learn, and enjoy their daily program. We help all of our campers through the process, encouraging them to try new things.
All camp activities follow a lesson plan with the goal of learning or improving a skill, practice, and an opportunity to play. See a typical “day in the life at camp” schedule below.

Campers build their own daily schedules based on their interests. We believe that having some control over what they do and when they do it creates a positive and fun camp experience. We operate on a 5 period day, allowing campers to choose the summer camp activities that interest them most.
Free Swims are downtime where campers are free to go for a swim, play cards, organize a pickup baseball game—anything they may choose, always under counselor supervision.
