Written by Kory Mathis | April 01, 2011

Jonathan Schoder, Program Director:

“I’m so excited to return to Timberlake! Every year I learn new things about myself and the TL community. I’m thrilled to see campers I had in first lodge become the leaders of camp just a few years later. TL has had a huge impact in shaping my life, so I’m thankful to have the opportunity to give back to the community.”

Zach Duncan-Tessmer, Creative Arts Activity Head:

“As a father of a TL aged, energetic, mischievous boy I am always impressed with the way all that boy-energy flows into projects and activity and care for fellow campers without seeming to be directed.  At TL those boys are allowed, and expected, to be their better selves.  No Cell phones!  Camp is beautiful.  A reason for returning that stands alone is the food, usually organic or local, often from the camp itself, and always delicious.  Lastly, and maybe most importantly, camp is a three-week learning experience without the kids always identifying that they are having a ‘Learning Experience’.  “


Andrew Moss, Cook (Cook 2007-08)

“F&W puts me in a good place.  I look forward to a mental cleansing”


Sam Tolzman

“I’ve been to Ice Cutting and had contact with people who have been to Farm and Wilderness and I can see how it promotes a way of living that is self-reliant and where you are engaged with your own life”

“It’s a solid place to come back to”
