Dear Timberlake Families,
My name is Becky and I am the first lodge head at Timberlake this summer. I want to introduce myself to you right at the start of camp and let you know that I am always available should you or your child need anything. My number one goal is to help create a loving, accepting and safe environment in which campers can learn and grow by leaps and bounds.
This year will mark my third summer with Farm & Wilderness. Last year, I was a counselor at the Barn Day Camp and lived at Timberlake as a villager. I had the opportunity to be an “auntie” to Hawthorn cabin and pop in to join the fun when I had time off from the BDC. From the first night I read them to sleep, I had fallen in love with TL First Lodge. So here I am today, awaiting the arrival of a whole new crop of kids to read to, listen to and have fun with.
I grew up in Hastings-on-Hudson, a suburb of New York city, and currently live in San Francisco where I teach yoga. I received my B.A. from Bard College in upstate New York in 2009. Education is my passion. So to circumvent the fact that my small liberal arts school did not offer an education major, I wrote my senior thesis on Dr. Seuss. Throughout college I worked at the local nursery school and was an active member of the school’s peer tutoring program.
Here at Timberlake my role is to facilitate communication between the director, counselors and parents and to be an extra source of guidance for the campers. I am the go-to person should you have any questions or concerns. Please feel free to contact me by calling the Timberlake office, or the Bat Cave as we affectionately call it, and asking for Becky. I am here for you and ready to help make your child’s summer his best yet!
I’m looking forward to a fun, happy and healthy summer at Timberlake. I can’t wait to meet the campers and kick off the 2010 season with a bang!
Best to you and your family,
Becky Weiner
