Junior Camp

Designed for first time campers, this program is created to offer the young camper (entering grade 4 or 5 in the Fall) a carefully supervised experience with all the excitement that camping has to offer.

From morning reveille to taps at night, the camper is involved in age appropriate activities such as chapel, recreation, crafts, outdoor lore classes, fishing, boating, swimming, group bonfire with smores and an all camp bonfire and sharing.

This Christ-centered program will be a positive and life changing experience for the young, first-time camper.

About Your Junior Camp Director: Mary Hankins
Being born into a large family, and raised on a farm, offered Mary countless opportunities for hiking, camping, and leading her younger siblings on outdoor adventures. But it wasn't until she was a parent herself, that Mary was first introduced to Camp Timberlegde. She then spent several summers as a Young Teen camp counselor.

In 2007, Mary took the reigns as Director for Junior Camp, shifting her 20-plus years of Sunday school teaching and youth ministry event planning into high-gear. Her passion for Camp Timberledge ensures that all young campers feel supported and are encouraged to thrive in what is for many, their first "sleep away" camping experience.
