When most people think of Spring Training, they think of Derek Jeter or David Wright gearing up getting ready for the baseball season ahead.
This past Saturday, the Timber Lake Family of Camps had a “Spring Training” of our own as all of the camps’ Head Staff & Division Leaders got together at North Shore Day Camp in preparation for the summer of 2011. Executive Director Jay Jacobs started off the meeting and talked about “keeping our eye on the ball.” He spoke about what it takes to have a successful summer and how our best tools are our unparallelled staff and the hard work and devotion they bring to each summer at camp.
The day was action-packed, full of getting “Ditterized” by a legend in the camping industry, Bob Ditter. Bob is a well regarded child, adolescent and family therapist from Boston, Massachusetts. He is a nationally recognized trainer and consultant who has been working with us for over 20 years.
The day was a great experience for all of our Head Staff involved, and although the TLC Family of Camps has continued to grow with well over 90 staff members in attendance, we remain bonded together as one – One big happy family!

The 2011 Tri-State Camp Conference that took place in Atlantic City was in fact “epic.” So epic that over 100 camping professionals got together the day before the conference began for an EPIC meeting of their own!
The Emerging Professionals in Camping (EPIC) program featured none other than the legend in the camping industry himself, children’s development expert, Bob Ditter. His session, “Understanding Today’s Children and the Big Picture for Camp Professionals,” truly gave everyone participating a different perspective on our campers that reflect today’s society.

Steve Mazza has been a member of the Timber Lake Family of Camps for quite a few years and has raised over $20,500 for children’s charities with his music! Steve first started out as a Senior Counselor and then became a Division Leader at our very own Hampton Country Day Camp. And if there’s anything to know about Steve (aside for his love of Subway sandwiches!), it’s that he LOVES children & music! So why not combine the two and see what happens, right? (more…)

This past week we took part in the largest gathering of camp professionals in the world! Over 3,000 camp directors and camp professionals gathered in Atlantic City at the American Camp Association’s Annual Tri-State Camp Conference!
 One of the most important factors to a successful camp season is continuing to educate our leadership staff and counselors. As times and society changes, so must we as a camping community. So every March the American Camp Association hosts thousands of camp professionals in Atlantic City for four days of camp-related educational sessions and programs. At the conference, sessions are organized into six tracks; business, campers, community, operations, program and activities, and staff leadership. The topics ranged anywhere from cyber-bullying, camp spirit, activity planning to keeping staff motivated. (more…)

Happy Days are here again – Literally! I recently attended the American Camping Association conference in New Jersey, and had the thrill of meeting someone I’d watched on TV as a kid. Okay, so I’m probably dating myself here, but for me, Happy Days was what I watched religiously on Channel 7, ABC. And at the conference, I got to meet – yes – “The Fonz”, Henry Winkler. (more…)
