★★★★★Melissa HoMy son Calvin was a camper for five years and has been a counselor at Timanous for the past two. We met another kind Timanous family who shared their experience with us and we tried it having never been before. And we had a very positive experience with the Suitors who have led the camp for decades. Timanous has been life changing for Calvin and us. He has grown and experienced things we could never have offered him and has made lifelong friends and memories. The very best thing about Timanous are the people, the relationships, and the community created and sustained from this magical place. We are so grateful! And bravo on the new barn - it is beautiful and will serve the camp well for generations to come!
★★★★★William DuongMy father, who was affectionately known as “Mook”, attended this camp every year of his childhood and teen years in the 40s and 50s. Said it was the best time of his life
★★★★★Ellen E SimmonsOur son spent 10 years at Timanous and the camp, in many ways, transformed his life. He learned that he could compete with kids from private schools, and, as a learning disabled boy, who had spent all his school time in special ed, he grabbed the self-confidence he learned at Timanous and forged ahead. It wasn't easy, but, we will be forever grateful to Camp Timanous for the life Chris made for himself.
★★★★★Jim GettysI was a camper in the 1960's and sent my son here too in this millenium. It was a joy to find that Timanous, which was wonderful in my time, had only improved for the next generations; it is seldom you can give to your son something you treasured in your time. Timanous's 100 anniversary is this year.
★★★★★Joe SaltzmanI attended in the late 60's / early 1970's and the experience had a profound impact on my life. I'm now in my mid 50's and I can say without reservation that my time at Camp Timanous was among some of the very best moments of my entire life. I am so thankful to my parents for making it possible to attend and I shall never, ever forget all the wonderful people I had the great pleasure to meet there. Even now as an adult I honestly wish I could return.... Camp Timanous was and is pure magic!
