Seeking role models to lead the adventure for teenage girls at The Timbers.

Located near Traverse City, MI, the 262-acre camp with two lakefronts is a special place for campers and staff alike. The Timbers offers many of the program highlights that make traditional summer camp popular, such as campfires, arts and crafts, swimming and boating. However, The Timbers is far from a traditional summer camp experience. We offer progressive tripping programs in backpacking, sailing, canoeing, and cycling that take our campers and staff all over MI, WI, and MN. At The Timbers, our goal is to offer personal growth opportunities to our campers through outdoor adventure programming. We place high emphasis on offering group decision-making and leadership opportunities as well as exciting recreational programming. The Timbers? staff act as supportive guides as the campers plan their own program schedules. The property and facilities at The Timbers are geared toward outdoor programming. Campers and staff live in platform tents with wooden floors and canvas walls and roof. Surrounded by forests and fields, there are several buildings that are used for programs, as well as a group initiatives course, a 50-foot climbing tower, 35-foot high ropes course, two smallcraft areas and one waterfront swimming area. A summer at The Timbers provides staff with many of their own positive growth experiences. Staff come from around the U.S. as well as overseas.

Girl Scouts. Where Girls Grow Strong


The Timbers is a wilderness/tripping camp located in Traverse City, MI. We serve girls ages 13-17 from the Flint area. Each group of girls plans a trip based on an interest in backpacking, sailing, canoeing, or biking. The girls work together with staff to plan their trip. In camp, the girls train and prepare for their adventure and participate in team building activities on the initiatives course, 42-foot climbing wall, and a high ropes course. The Timbers is known nationally for its marketing and programming for older girls. Each year, we seek role models who can help girls achieve in this single-sex environment. Staff members need to be independent, resourceful, experienced, and safety conscious. The staff is a diverse group of strong women who are willing to be role models and enjoy wilderness with young women. Online application available at www.gssem.org.
