At Camp Tall Timbers we feel that the more you know about the way we operate camp, the more you will like Camp Tall Timbers as a place for your child to spend some great summer time. Much of the apprehension that campers and parents alike experience prior to coming to camp is the fear of the unknown. How will I get mail? Where do I send mail? Do I get canteen at night? Will my child get a snack between dinner and bedtime? What do I do with my allergy medicine? Who makes up the medical staff? These are just a few of the questions that come up for parents and campers as they prepare for their time at camp. We have found that the more information we can provide our clients and prospective clients, the better. With this in mind we have placed our parent handbook here on our web page so that you may look at the information that we send to our families prior to the start of camp. In addition, occasionally someone will misplace a form that we have asked them to fill out and return to us, therefore we have posted our forms that you can print or download directly from our site. If you have any other questions or comments contact us at FunCamp@aol.com.
