Castaways - TimberNook of Greater Cleveland

My three children loved this program. They came home full of happiness. They grew closer together as siblings, made new friends, and renewed old friendships. The activities were excellent. My second oldest son would always beat me in any way possible when playing a game with me. After 2 weeks of timbernook this summer, he developed compassion and actually let me win the last 3 games we played together. Timbernook is a transformative experience in a loving and supportive atmosphere. Miss Brenda is amazing.

WE LOVE TIMBERNOOK! My kids (ages 4 and 8) attended this and loved it! They came back covered in mud and gleefully happy every day. They got to play with friends (new and old) and explore and learn. My two oldest children (8 and 10) have grown so much from Timbernook and Miss Brenda's loving care. They love her, and we are so grateful to her for all she does. The camp provides a chance to for kids to explore nature and play in an unstructured manner with peers. Kids are given a chance to do amazingly fun things and challenge themselves. I could NOT be happier with this program. My kids returned happy and exhausted every day full of pure joy. Especially after covid-time, my kids needed this chance for growth, connection with peers, and time in nature.

My boys of 7 and 9 love this program. They love Miss Brenda. They come back full of joy and excitement to share their experiences - and occasional frustrations! They are learning to work with others while having great experiences in the outdoors. They have built forts, played mock battles, dumped loads of worms into a creek to see what would happen, and explored their location with great curiosity. I love the flexibility and freedom of the program. Miss Brenda is amazing, and I am so pleased she is watching over my boys.
