Food & Nutrition

At Timber Lake, we know that a balanced diet for our campers is important. That is why we are committed to delivering healthy, delicious food using the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. A wide range of choices ensures that even the pickiest of eaters will find something they enjoy.

At each lunch and dinner, campers can also choose items from our Fresh Salad Bar, Pasta Bar and Sandwich Station to complement each meal. Fresh fruit is available all day throughout the campus, and a mid-afternoon snack is served at our Boys & Girls HCs – and includes everything from fruit pops to nut-free granola bars.

We do not serve any products that contain peanuts, tree nuts, or trace amounts of nuts. Click above to see our full Nut and Allergy Policy.

Snacks

Fresh fruit is available all day at various spots on campus, and every day at 3:10 is Snack Time at camp, during which we serve a cold treat including ice cream and ice pops.

Special Dietary Needs

We understand that many children have special dietary needs and allergies that require constant attention. Our Food Service Director will work closely with your family to develop a menu that fits your child’s needs.

Health & Wellness

Timber Lake Camp’s commitment to the health and safety of every child is unsurpassed. Camp should feel like an extension of your home; we care as much as you do and pay close attention to your child’s physical well-being.

The best way to ensure that campers have a great summer is by making sure they are healthy. We train our staff to monitor that campers are drinking lots of water to stay hydrated, wearing sunscreen to protect from exposure to the sun, and getting the necessary rest. Our modern, well-equipped and air-conditioned Health Center has two on-site M.D.s, seven registered nurses, and a health center administrator. These experienced medical professionals provide excellent care to campers while regularly communicating with parents back home.
