We are dedicated to providing a safe, fun and small group environment, which develops the spirit, mind and body of each individual. Camp is a special place where youth and teens learn about the environment, develop positive values, make meaningful friendships, build positive peer relationships, learn new skills and increase self-confidence. In our community of caring adults Timbertop summer camp helps kids grow and find themselves.
Our History:
This year we will be celebrating the 54th anniversary of Timbertop! Timbertop was founded in 1967 and operated by the Association for Services for Learning Disabilities, a non-profit organization that sponsors camping for children with learning disabilities. Timbertop Camp Inc. is now operated by a Volunteer Board of Directors.
Camp Details:
Timbertop is a 7 day outdoor adventure where campers will learn outdoor skills and participate in activities designed to enhance their cooperative abilities and interpersonal relationships. An emphasis is placed on building self-esteem and how to make and keep friends. Whether building a campfire, cleaning the cabin or learning how to handle a canoe, each camper learns to share the responsibility of camp life. The daily schedule includes: reading instruction, swim lessons, cabin activities, camp classes (such as nature exploration, canoeing, arts & crafts, archery, fishing, games and more), evening campfires, stargazing and all-camp programs.
Camp Leadership/Directors:
Timbertop Camp is operated by a volunteer Board of Directors. Our volunteers/staff are selected for their leadership skills and their ability to provide a meaningful and safe camp experience for youth with Learning Disabilities. Volunteers/Staff have an understanding of youth with special needs and the unique potential of each child. There is a ratio of one adult to every six campers.
Rhoda Brooks “Wings”, (Camp Founder) holds an M.A. in Special Education and has way over 30 years of teaching and administrative experience.
Nancy Reuter “Spirit” has worked with Timbertop since 1992 and is a Special Education teacher in Mosinee, WI.
Pete Matthai “Timber” has been with Timbertop since 1991. He has been the Camp Director Since 1994. He has a BS degree from UWSP in Natural Resources – Youth Programming & Camp Management.
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Choose the price tier you can best afford. We understand that different families have differing abilities to pay, so we have implemented three pricing levels to better accommodate all financial needs. Please consider selecting the highest tier you can afford to allow Timbertop Camp to best stretch our funding and continue to improve the quality of each camper’s experience.
Price C is our historically subsidized rate, which does not represent the true cost of camp, but has been our standard rate.
Price B is a partially subsidized rate, but more clearly reflects the actual cost of camp.
Price A most accurately reflects the actual cost of Timbertop Camp.
Our Tier Pricing Program in no way influences the experience your child(ren) will receive! We simply feel it is important to share with parents the true costs of Camp and give families the opportunity to decide how much they can contribute toward their child’s camp experience. Financial assistance is provided through donations to Timbertop Camp, Inc. and other generous clubs and organizations.
