At Camp Tall Timbers, we believe that a great overnight camp experience has never been more relevant than right now! Camp brings our children closer to nature and fosters social and emotional development while encouraging independence, resiliency, empathy, and adaptability.
We are excited to be celebrating over 50 fabulous years of fun as one of the area’s best summer camps for kids.

Our campers tell us over and over that we’re their favorite overnight camp, and explain that the life-long friendships they made have helped them become the successful adults they are today. No surprise then, that so many former campers prefer us over other summer camps in West Virginia and beyond!

There’s a reason we stand out as one of the best summer camps for kids. Here are some of our priorities for our overnight camp experience:
“The best gift my parents gave my sister and me was the gift of camp. As a former camper, Camp Tall Timbers has given me lifetime friendships, self-confidence, and the ability to try new things. Sometimes I wake up and go outside to get the paper and think, “it smells like camp!” Today, as the mother of two campers, I love that they are able to try new things in a safe and controlled environment, knowing they are experiencing what I did at their age. The Smith family is the reason why we keep going back!”
-Cindy, former camper and current camper parent
