Swimming

Swimming is an integral part of the camp program with campers participating daily in Royal Life and Red Cross swim programs taught by fully qualified swim instructors. For the weak swimmer, there is one-on-one instruction available throughout the camp stay. In addition we offer on-going general swims, competitive swimming, tubing, water slides, water trampoline as part of the regular swim program.  Timberlane is please to offer our older campers and CIT’s Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross certification programs.  As of 2007 ALL COUNSELLORS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THEIR BRONZE CROSS.

Water Ski/Wakeboard Program

Timberlane prides itself on the high quality of its Water Ski/Wakeboard Program. We use the finest ski equipment and each J-craft ski boat is equipped with a teaching boom, which guarantees success for any beginner.  In 2007 we will see the addition of a new Wake Board boat.  Every camper receives instruction from our certified instructors and for those who wish, we offer Intensive Ski Clinics in slalom, wakeboard and barefoot skiing. All campers travel to ski periods with their cabin groups, while older campers are given additional free choice periods to take advantage of extra ski times.  Timberlane also features a Wakeboard slider and professional Slalom course.  We are please to be affiliated with the Ontario Water Ski Association.

Sailing

Nothing compares to the thrill of riding the wind in a sailboat. Our international staff and qualified instructors introduce campers safely to the joy of this popular sport. We sail Lasers I & II, Hobie’s, Invitations, Pico's and Hunters.  Races and day trips to other lakes for more experienced campers add zest to this activity. 

Canoeing / Kayak

Every camper is taught how to handle a canoe and kayak on our sheltered private lake. These skills are then used on day and overnight trips away from camp. Our popular double kayaks enable friends to share the fun of an informal paddle together.

Pontoon Boating

Take a leisurely cruise on Timberlane’s pontoon boat.  Campers adore this activity as it gives them an opportunity to adore and appreciate the beauty of nature and the summer weather from a different vantage point, the water.  This activity provides valuable bonding time for campers and staff, encouraging original activities, fun and games.

Fishing

Campers love to take advantage of our private lake filled with thousands and thousands of fish.  Campers my fish off our exclusive fishing dock or from a row boat with their counselor.  Daily catches include Small Mouth Bass, Sun Fish, Rock Bass and even Lake Trout.

NEW Paddle

This summer will see the addition of new Paddle Boats to camp.  These recreational boats will be perfect for those extra hot days or just a sunset cruise. 

PADI Scuba Diving Certification

For those campers who qualify, we are please to offer our PADI Certification program.  This 3-day program will certify the individual to a PADI OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION.  There are only 8 spaces available in July and 8 spaces in August.  For more information please contact our office.

Water Tramp, 30 ft. Tower, Iceberg, Tubes

On any hot day you will see our water trampoline busy with enthusiasts.  Those not afraid of heights will jump off our 30ft. tower.  Our inflatable iceberg is a popular choice for those who love to climb and our water-front is loaded with colorful tubes and noodles for those who wish to just “chill” in the water.
