The heart of the camp experience
The bunk is where campers build relationships, learn teamwork, 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 Fun at Camp Tall Timbers.

Bunk Living
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 (completed 8th grade) may team up with buddies in a 14’ X 16’ tent equipped with electricity. These campers have their own shower facilities.
Safety
Your children’s safety at camp is our top priority.
Our ACA accreditation ensures we maintain a safe, quality 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.
