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
Each day, campers choose their activities with input from the counselors while many special camp-wide activities supplement this daily routine. Many activities have graduated, ability and age-appropriate awards components which helps maintain camper interest and promotes enhanced skills.

This activity program is implemented through the expertise and enthusiasm of our counselors who encourage setting goals, promoting already acquired skills and trying new things. This creates the foundation for personal growth, self-improvement and enhanced maturity. Regular recognition of earned camper achievements leads to increased pride and self-confidence.
