*We can offer swimming in our swimming pool. There is an extra group charge of $75.00 per hour, with an additional $25.00 for Camp of the Hills to provide a lifeguard. Lifeguards are required for OE events. The group is welcome to bring their own if they have people who are lifeguard certified. If not, Camp of the Hills will provide them for you. 

**There is an additional cost of $20 per person for the double-starred activities. This additional cost is waived if booking an overnight event.
​
***If you are choosing a TimberNook Experience we suggest doing it as a stand alone event as opposed to trying to add other activities alongside it. Contact us directly if this is something you are interested in! You can look at our Timbernook page or the main TimberNook website for more info!

FYI: In order to create the "child-led" environment necessary for TimberNook Experiences, only 2 chaperones are allowed to stay with your group during the allotted time; our staff will maintain a 1:6 supervision ratio to campers at all times in addition to your chaperones. Parents can leave and come back at pick-up or are able to stay and hangout in our Camp Lounge during the scheduled Timbernook Time and regroup with the kids at dismissal.

PARTICIPANT OPTIONS:

Grade Level Groups -
(PreK-12th):

You can bring out an entire grade level to go through the activities together.
Multi-Age Groups:
1. various activity groups based on similar ages & ability levels to determine difficulty/scaffolding of the activities offered.

2. various activity groups based on a combination of ages & ability levels to promote sibling style / mentorship dynamics.
Family Style Groups:
This is a great way to have whole families engage with each other and bond by going through the activities together!
