2014-2015 PROGRAMS “OUR MISSION IS TO CREATE ENGAGING COMMUNITIES WHERE EACH YOUNG PERSON ENCOUNTERS CHRIST THROUGH A DYNAMIC CAMP EXPERIENCE” For all of us here at Timber-lee, this is the challenge to which we give careful consideration and prayerful dependence. We know that God alone creates this encounter! We hope that through our partnership with God, each person on our grounds will open their heart and mind to experience His love and grace in Jesus Christ. Our mission is that each visitor will take valuable life lessons from their time at Timber-lee. These may be as simple as truths about relationships, oneself, a challenge overcome, or a new skill learned. We look forward to having you join us in 2014 and 2015 for your own adventure to grow for-life and for-ever! - MIKE MCCORKLE, TIMBER-LEE PRESIDENT

It also lets them experience things they would not normally do at home like swim in the lake, Business Magazine zipline, play with turtles & snakes. It’s an adventure! ”
