Feel the love… Summer 2017

Winter has been unseasonably warm. Mild days make it easy to imagine summer is almost here. Although we just kicked off February excitement is building for Summer 2017. Registration is now underway for Camp Tall Timbers’ 47th season of award-winning, ACA accredited, co-ed summer camp fun. Enroll Here.

In your mind’s eye, you can see the Blue Ridge mountains in the distance. The sight of the mountains means nestled in the foothills lies that most magical of places – Camp Tall Timbers! Memories of sunny days, the cool waters of our private lake, campfires under the stars combined with the laughter and  smiles of our campers and staff and you know right away what makes this camp so special – it is the people! From the Director and administrative team to our amazing counselors, who challenge and encourage our campers to try new activities, new experiences and make new friends in a safe environment. Our counselors foster independence, goal setting, learning how to work and live within a team setting, improve social and interpersonal skills and how to appreciate nature’s wonders, all while removed from the electronic distractions of life outside of camp.

Of course without our campers, where would we be? Our campers, ages 7-16, make friends and memories for a lifetime as they return summer after summer. Many of our families are Camp Tall Timbers alum, giving their children the invaluable gift of overnight summer camp just as they once received from their parents.

Our camp has much to offer. We know what kids like and our many activities reflect the interests of today’s youth. We can put you in touch with other parents and campers to share their experiences. If you would prefer to meet Glenn Smith, camp owner, he is scheduling information sessions throughout the MidAtlantic region for your convenience. Not to worry, if the dates/times are not convenient you can join a virtual meet & greet too. Click here for more info.
