Going Wild – TimberNook Mid-Michigan

Coming Soon!

Going Wild with Spy Kids

Registration opens in February, 2025

This program provides innovative learning opportunities through meaningful, child-driven play. Each day will foster essential life skills, inspire creativity, facilitate connection, and integrate cognitive & social emotional skills. Children will have the opportunity to imagine and create special spy gadgets, games, and explore in the woods, while building on their “Spy Kids Skills” all week with different themed days. Most importantly, children will create lasting memories for years to come!

• TimberNook is a 100% outdoor program and we love to play in all weather. Please ensure your child wears weather appropriate attire.
• Each child should bring a backpack with the following items: change of clothes, comfortable walking/running shoes (please no flip flops or crocs), bug spray, sunscreen, a water bottle, a healthy snack, lunch, and a towel.
• Expect children to go home dirty. This is a good sign of a great day at TimberNook!
• This is a drop-off program. Drop off is 8:55-9:05 am and pick up is 11:55-12:05 pm
• Upon completed registration, watch for a confirmation email.

• A certified provider with CPR/BBP training is onsite at all times.
• Children must always keep a TimberNook staff member in sight, stay within the designated boundaries of our site, and be able to take care of their own needs (such as eating, drinking, and using the restroom).
