One of our Jr. Reporters for NW Columbus Macaroni Kid recently shared with us why she loves attending camp at TimberNook of Central Ohio. This summer will be the third summer she will attend a camp at TimberNook.
TimberNook is a fun place where kids can go to play in the forest.
You can explore new places in the forest like me and my friends. There are animals on the farm like pigs, cats, chickens, and horses.
At camp we do stories, art, feed the horses and so much more.
There’s a train that drives you into the woods (the Nook) from the farm and then there are surprises on the way to get into the woods like pictures of owls and other animals. There’s a part in the forest where you can climb stuff. In the forest, you can go to the creek, go on swings and go on a hammock. In the creek, you can find a hidden area that’s so beautiful when you look up.
Everybody at camp is nice and fun and they help each other. There are really kind grown-ups and helpers.
Some of my favorite parts of camp are:
1. A mud area-where it’s all muddy and you can swim in the mud. You can get messy anytime you want.
2. The bubble slide we do at the end of camp
3. Making new discoveries in the forest like new paths and finding things like fossils
