Arriving at Timberlake - what to expect, where to go. - Farm & Wilderness

Dear Timberlake families.

The first day is drawing close.  For some of you this is a familiar routine, for others it will be a new experience.    We want you to feel welcome the moment you arrive at Timberlake, and also for any camper to be able to integrate into camp swiftly.

– While our support staff will host a question and answer session at 3pm in Ken’s Lodge,  I hope to get a chance to meet with all of you who are dropping off kids with us so please approach me at any time.

– While some are coming from far away, the sooner you can arrive, the sooner we can begin camp!

– We will have a handout ready when you arrive to guide you through the sequence of arrival; where to go and who to see.    You will find a copy below.     Can’t wait to see you here!

– Oh yes – two words that help bring more peace to the day:  Diagonal Parking!  🙂

We’re glad you’re here and hope you’re ready for a fantastic summer!

Below you’ll find the steps you will need to complete this afternoon:

1. Health Check – Please visit the infirmary and speak with Wendy & Jane, our nurses. They will answer any questions you may have regarding health & wellness this summer.

***Note*** Before visiting the nurses all necessary medical records/forms must be completed. The Main Office is available for faxing medical documents as needed. We cannot complete a camper’s health check without the necessary forms.

1. Move-In – Your camper’s counselor will show your camper down to his cabin. Counselors are happy to assist in moving items down to cabins.

———–Steps above need to be completed before moving on to below ———-

1. Swim Tests – All campers need to complete a swim test. Parents are welcome to watch but we ask to please not crowd the docks. If we experience inclement weather we shall halt the tests and restart when it has passed

1. Meet & Greet – For parents at 3pm in Ken’s Lodge (across from the Trading Post). Campers will settle in the cabin and start activities. This is a great time to say your graceful goodbyes.

1. Camp Begins –  At 4.00 pm. we ring the bell to begin games and Barn Chores. We ask that all parents say their final goodbyes by this bell.

***Note*** Lunch will not be provided to campers or parents today. We ask that you please make other arrangements. The first camp meal will be dinner.
