We Build Life Skills and Values
At Timanous, campers enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle, selecting from activities like soccer, sailing, archery, and woodshop, with refreshing swims in between. Cabin bonding and interactions across all ages enhance our strong community. Camping trips, games with friends, and events like capture the flag offer a break from everyday pressures, creating a sense of being worlds away.
Our program nurtures the holistic development of Body, Mind, and Spirit, values established since our 1917 founding. Timanous has provided some of the most important and formative experiences for generations of boys, many of whom grew up to be counselors or parents of Timanous campers of their own. Timanous continues this mission into our second century, promoting positivity and respect for all with a proven program. Our community encourages campers to be themselves while gaining deeper self-understanding. |

Activities
|
|
|
We offer a structured daily schedule with the flexibility for campers to explore various interests. Mornings focus on learning through an instructional swim and a camper-chosen activity. In the afternoons, campers sign-up for an activity of their choosing, enjoy a free swim, and have an open free time to explore whatever activities interest them.
Awards System:
Our unique awards system empowers boys to pursue long-term goals throughout the summer. Designed to be achievable for all ages, the system sets progressively challenging goals as competence grows. Participating in the awards program is entirely voluntary, as we prioritize intrinsic motivation, encouraging campers to strive for personal achievement driven by their own interests and desires.
