▌Read More about Crystalaire Adventures
CAMP FACILITIES: Our philosophy is based around designing inclusive social groups that allow for participants to express themselves and have a say in the experience. Participants will set the schedule, control the route, and are given the freedom to develop their own games and activities while on our programs.
Participants will sleep in tents (excepting sailing programs, where accommodations are typically on the boats themselves). Participants will typically travel daily, learning to prepare their own meals on fires and camp stoves, setting up their own schedules, learning outdoor skills (survival skills, map and compass, etc...), and learning about group dynamics.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Crystalaire has been offering alternative outdoor adventure education experiences for almost a century. Our staff are highly trained, and will have lifeguarding and wilderness medicine certifications as well as prior experience. We believe in creating playful and inclusive trips in wild places that offer meaningful experiences for all participants. We consider each trip to be a "microsociety," and give our participants the chance to weigh in and decide how they want that "microsociety" to function, how they want people to be treated, and how they want group decisions to be made.
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: 16 and 17 year old campers are welcome to join us on our Cojourn, a 3-week outdoor leadership intensive that focuses on our group management and social dynamics curriculum. More information can be found online.
18 - 21 year old applicants can join our Apprenticeship program for a 4-6 week intensive training in outdoor leadership. This is a paid internship.
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: We provide scholarships based on your own assessment of your need. Let us know what help you need, we'll believe you and will do what we can to meet it.
FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): Family Camps can be created using the Choose Your Own Adventure option.
YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: We plan trips year round, and are willing to work with you to plan a trip during a spring break, fall break, weekend, or other time of year.

Food: Meals are served three times a day in the dining hall which features many options, including a salad bar, and frozen yogurt.
Performing Arts Program: Harand Camp adheres to a non-competitive philosophy where everyone is a star (the primary goal is for all campers to build self-confidence & self-esteem). In preparation for final performances, campers take daily classes in singing, dancing, and dramatics in the morning or afternoon. Occasional rehearsals are held in the evening (alternating with activities & events). Each session then culminates with a large-scale performance for friends, family, and alumni in a state-of-the-art theatre.

Second 3-Week Session (Shows) - During the second three weeks, each age group prepares a full-length show. Unlike at other camps, Haranders have the chance to take on leading roles, as well as learn how to be a part of the ensemble � ensuring that every camper receives the full musical theatre experience.
Electives and Activities: In addition to the theatre program, campers also register for three periods of elective activities per day. The camp operates on an alternating schedule of A-Days (M, W, F) and B-Days (Tu, Th, Sa), so campers actually have six classes of their own choosing.

OTHER CAMP INFO: Camp Jorn YMCA has been helping children of all ages recognize and develop value in themselves and in the world around them since 1953. At Camp Jorn you will often hear the phrase "the magic of CJ," and those words may be the best way to describe what children walk away with after participating in our programs.
Camp is a place where children can come from all different backgrounds, be free of all outside influences, and learn about who they are and who they have the potential to be. A sailing class is not just a lesson how to sail, but how to work as a team, how to deal with challenges, how to persevere, and develop a real sense of pride in themselves & their accomplishments. We strongly believe that a camp experience has the ability to teach children in a way that they can't experience elsewhere.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Camp Anokijig has been recognized for excellence in camping for 88 years. Founded in 1926, Anokijig has built a history and rich tradition of offering youth experiences that will last a lifetime.
Anokijig is a Native American word meaning "We Serve" but it is also synonymous with new friends, positive values, personal growth, great adventures, and outrageous fun. When you combine that with our dedication to offering campers an experience that emphasizes values such as caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, you have a combination that can't be beat.
Camp Anokijig is open to boys and girls ages 7 to 16, for four days, one week, two weeks, or for up to nine weeks of summer fun. Join us for the traditional Resident Camp, or focus on a specialty camp program. Teens are welcome to challenge themselves with an off-site adventure trip.
Please visit our website for specific descriptions and details of our program offerings.
Our staff members are chosen for their understanding of young people and their ability to communicate with them on a positive level. Our camper-to-staff ratio is about four to one. Most of our staff are previous Anokijig campers, so they bring a perspective to their leadership role that is deeply enhanced by Anokijig's rich spirit and tradition. All staff attend an extensive training program prior to camp opening. Senior staff members carry certifications in First Aid and CPR for the Professional Rescuerer. Certified lifeguards are present for all swimming and boating activities. Medical staff live on site during the summer camp season.

Camper group duties include sleeping in the tents, dining hall supervision, and general supervision in the day-to-day care for the campers.
The second phase of the responsibility is an assignment to a program area. Once again, under the supervision of a trained Senior Staff member, Junior Staff will assist in the teaching and supervision of the campers at the program areas. Program areas include: swimming, canoeing, paddlesports, sailing, windsurfing, fishing, horseback riding, arts & crafts, archery, riflery, nature, dance & drama, digital photography, woodworking, ukulele band, glee choir, and maintenance.
Benefits from the Junior Staff program include leadership training, program skill training, room and board, and the availability of a job reference, if desired, for future employment.

Our History:
This year we will be celebrating the 54th anniversary of Timbertop! Timbertop was founded in 1967 and operated by the Association for Services for Learning Disabilities, a non-profit organization that sponsors camping for children with learning disabilities. Timbertop Camp Inc. is now operated by a Volunteer Board of Directors.
Camp Details:
Timbertop is a 7 day outdoor adventure where campers will learn outdoor skills and participate in activities designed to enhance their cooperative abilities and interpersonal relationships. An emphasis is placed on building self-esteem and how to make and keep friends. Whether building a campfire, cleaning the cabin or learning how to handle a canoe, each camper learns to share the responsibility of camp life. The daily schedule includes: reading instruction, swim lessons, cabin activities, camp classes (such as nature exploration, canoeing, arts & crafts, archery, fishing, games and more), evening campfires, stargazing and all-camp programs.
Camp Leadership/Directors:
Timbertop Camp is operated by a volunteer Board of Directors. Our volunteers/staff are selected for their leadership skills and their ability to provide a meaningful and safe camp experience for youth with Learning Disabilities. Volunteers/Staff have an understanding of youth with special needs and the unique potential of each child. There is a ratio of one adult to every six campers.
Rhoda Brooks “Wings”, (Camp Founder) holds an M.A. in Special Education and has way over 30 years of teaching and administrative experience.
Nancy Reuter “Spirit” has worked with Timbertop since 1992 and is a Special Education teacher in Mosinee, WI.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Choose the price tier you can best afford. We understand that different families have differing abilities to pay, so we have implemented three pricing levels to better accommodate all financial needs. Please consider selecting the highest tier you can afford to allow Timbertop Camp to best stretch our funding and continue to improve the quality of each camper’s experience.
Price C is our historically subsidized rate, which does not represent the true cost of camp, but has been our standard rate.
Price B is a partially subsidized rate, but more clearly reflects the actual cost of camp.
Price A most accurately reflects the actual cost of Timbertop Camp.
Our Tier Pricing Program in no way influences the experience your child(ren) will receive! We simply feel it is important to share with parents the true costs of Camp and give families the opportunity to decide how much they can contribute toward their child’s camp experience. Financial assistance is provided through donations to Timbertop Camp, Inc. and other generous clubs and organizations.
