Hampshire Country School is pleased to share they will be welcoming campers back onsite in July 2022 after canceling the program last summer due to the pandemic. Timbertop is the school’s 4-week sleep-away camp and will run from July 3 to 30. Students attending the full session of Timbertop camp are eligible to add on a full psycho-educational evaluation with clinical psychologist Dr. Jennifer Zeisz Ph.D.

Timbertop is a small camp for boys ages 8 to 13 who are generally more successful in settings with a high level of adult interaction. The camp is limited to 20 boys and is now accepting registrations for new campers.

Campers enjoy being outside and exploring the world around them but sometimes have difficulties navigating the complex social situations that emerge in larger, less personal camps. Timbertop campers benefit from a safe and nurturing sleep-away experience that allows them to relax and form lasting friendships.

Campers participate in a structured day filled with traditional camp activities, such as swimming, canoeing, fishing, nature hikes, biking, arts and crafts, climbing wall, and various other activities. Campers will also learn many outdoor living and camping skills as well as participate in activities on our working farm. Timbertop will follow COVID protocols and take guidance from Public Health as needed.
