Bedrock Play is the licensed TimberNook provider for Greater Portland, running child-led outdoor play camps in the woods of Gorham. Summer camps run throughout the season for children ages 3–12, who build forts, cook in a forest kitchen, and spend uninterrupted hours in nature-based play.

Powered by GoogleMy son was more of an indoor cat before he started going to Bedrock Play. But soon after he began attending, he came home and started climbing trees for the first time and happily went out in the rain in his rainsuit. Now after a year there, he's comfortable outside in all seasons and weather! He loves the staff there and the new activities available every week. We highly recommend their OT program too!
Beth & her team are incredible. I can't recommend the programs they offer more, it's truly the best thing in Maine for children. I've been coming since my little one was 18 months and he's now almost 4, we love it. It's great for parents and little ones.
Timbernook creates an environment where curiosity and adventure thrive. Activities encourage teamwork, creativity, and confidence. Our child came home with muddy shoes and a huge smile! Highly recommend to any family looking for a meaningful, nature-filled experience!
TimberNook gave my daughter the time and space to explore the outdoors among peers her age. Being among peers helped foster curiosity, ingenuity, creativity and imagination. Her experience was invaluable to her emotional growth and development.
My children have been attending Timbernook for the last 3 years. Beth, Erika, and the rest of the team are so knowledgeable, creative, patient, and trustworthy. At Timbernook, I know my child will be safe and well taken care of while still given the freedom to be independent, curious, and have fun.
