Dear Friends,
A spring retreat for families with children with a disability or challenging illness served as an awesome prelude to Timber Pointe Outdoor Center’s 2023 summer camp season. Overnight summer sessions consisted of themes like “Neverland”, “Superhero Academy”, “Party in the USA” and “Camp Hollywood,” which were all designed to meet the needs of children and adults with a broad range of disabilities. Inclusive “adventure day camp” programs also ran throughout the summer months. Timber Pointe also partnered with several mission-oriented organizations to facilitate 6 additional overnight camps serving community youth, campers affected by neuromuscular diseases, adults with physical disabilities and children affected by cancer and blood diseases.
Thanks to the generosity of our Timber Pointe Foundation donors and our partnership with the Woods Foundation, the second phase of a multi-year project to complete upgrades to the accessibility and safety of the Center’s roads, pathways and trails was completed in the spring, just in time for an action packed and life changing summer! Bottom line: our campers can now access EVERY amenity and facility in the camp via a paved trail! This is an amazing upgrade. Thank you all.
Finally, we ask you to consider partnering with us as we complete the final phase of trail and pathway initiatives and address the goal of generating $300,000 in contributed funding to begin upgrades to a cluster of Timber Pointe’s cabins, equipping them to provide year-round and accessible housing to support full-family programs.
