This past April, Katie and I started our TimberNook journey after years in the schools, seeing a desperate need for kids to have more autonomy over their play and more opportunities to get outside, move, and improve their mental, physical and social well being.

We partnered with Greg Schoepp who was the key factor into turning our dreams into reality in May by offering his incredible landscape to us for use as our prinary location.

July finally came and Katie and I venturered at Tmbernook headquarters in New Hampshire to officially become licensed TimberNook providers.

LIVEfor TimberNook summer camp launched on July 29.

Tiny Ones launched in October.

We partnered with Access Ability Wisconsin in October to give more kids better access to our woods and more opportunities for all inclusive authentic play.

Teenagers joined us for a special Halloween night program.

Our community came togetehr and raised thousands of dollars to be able to provide 10 camp scholarships this year as well as secure land, staff and property for 2025.

Kids came out in bitter cold temperatures proving there is no such thing as bad weather.

Through it all Katie, and I have been so incredibly thankful and humbled by everyone who has made this dream a reality, not only for us, but for the kids!

We plan to offer TimberNook programming throughout the seasons for years to come.

IF you haven't checked us out yet, wd love for you to come into our woods and experience the magic of TimberNook.

For those who have come out camp after camp, we can't thank you enough for trusting us and your kids.
We have been so amazed at what your kids have created and how they have grown.

Here's to an unforgettable 2026!

Happy New Year!

Let's reclaim childhood one experience at a time!

A 6-year-old once looked at me, completely serious, and asked:
“What time is it? What are we doing right now?”

“It’s time to play…” I told her. We were at TimberNook after all...

She blinked.
“What?! My mom is paying you good money to entertain me!”

I’ll never forget that moment. When did kids start expecting adults to fill every second for them? When did we teach them that entertainment comes from us instead of from their own minds?

Somewhere along the way, childhood got overplanned, overmanaged, and overanalyzed. Kids lost chances to imagine, problem-solve, experiment, make mistakes, and figure things out on their own.

We didn’t mean to -- but we made them more dependent than ever.

We’ve robbed them of something essential:
child-directed play.

It’s time to give it back.
