• Ages: 8–16 years old
• Schedule: Trip sessions last from 3–12 days long
In 2020, Camp Timberlane for Boys celebrated its 60th summer of camping fun and friendship. Each year, 160 boys from over 30 cities across the United States attend for 4- or 8-week sessions of outdoor fun in a genuinely non-competitive environment. Cabin groups consist of 8–12 campers who are all going into the same grade level in school, and each cabin has 3 or 4 counselors.
Sam Kahn is the Owner and Director of Timberlane and has spent over 20 summers at the camp. He grew up as a Timberlane camper and has held multiple leadership and administrative roles at camp, and before taking over as Owner and Director he was a middle school math teacher. The leadership team includes Assistant Directors who are described as dedicated, compassionate professionals with decades of Timberlane experience. The camp has roughly 85 staff members, many of whom return from prior summers and many of whom were campers who grew up through the camp’s leadership training program. The camp uses a meticulous and comprehensive recruiting and selection process for new counselors and trip leaders, and staff receive support and training to enable them to be their best for campers.
Parent testimonials describe campers coming home more confident and independent, and refer to Camp Timberlane as a fantastic place for boys to spend time away from everyday pressures, unplug, and spend time being young and energetic. Parents note that the camp is fun, safe, and meaningful, and say that Timberlane takes into consideration the whole person and cultivates a sense of community and stewardship. Several parents mention that directors and staff are attentive, caring, and strong role models, and that counselors treat campers like friends while helping to boost confidence and resilience. Families describe the camp as a “special place” and a “home away from home,” and say their sons feel supported and comfortable by both adults and peers. Multiple parents report that their sons gain confidence and independence, make new friends from around the country, and that Timberlane stories are a daily topic of conversation at home.
