Summer after summer, camper after camper, the precious memories of Timber Lake West live on in our community. At every age and stage of personal development, each one of our campers takes a unique journey, gaining a greater sense of self-esteem and self-confidence.

Timber Lake West is a traditional, 4-week co-ed camp, that is divided into two separate campuses; one for boys and one for girls, with campers ranging from 8 through 16 years old.  Located in New York's Catskill Mountains, Timber Lake West is just over 2 hours northwest of New York City, and 3 hours from Philadelphia. Set on a mountaintop, its 320 secluded acres features its own private spring-fed lake and an outstanding array of facilities.

At Timber Lake West, we foster the values of sharing, integrity, responsibility and respect in a friendly, safe and fun environment.  Campers learn to value others by being valued themselves.  They leave camp with memories that will last a lifetime.  This is what we have been doing successfully for more than four decades.  It is what Camp was always meant to be.

At Timber Lake West, our commitment is to provide the highest level of service and excellence in the camping industry.  Constantly innovating and moving forward, Timber Lake West’s facilities, program and staff development are second to none.


Our camps’ mission is to teach children the skills of making and keeping friends, while building their self-esteem, self-confidence and resilience.
