Community Outreach - Bemidji - Timber Bay - Bemidji

Year round camp and retreat center in northern Minnesota for troubled youth middle school through high school. Year round they can enjoy rustic/modern log cabins, a beautiful log lodge and excellent food all structured for kids. Their spiritual perspective can begin to change after hearing short fireside discussions. Kids 14 and older can join a Timber Bay WorkCrew. They build cabins, shovel snow, landscape, and cut firewood. Working at Timber Bay builds in them a sense of ownership, caring, contribution, and accomplishment. "The camp that comes home with the kids." When a youth needs compassion, support in crises, or emotional shelter from an abusive home, after they leave the camp, staff can be there to help. There is an "Events Calendar" located on the web site www.timberbay.org Some summer activities include: - Swimming - Hiking - Camping out - Playing ball Some winter activities include: - Cross country skiing - Snow tubing - Play broomball - Hanging around a cracking camp fire Staff contacts include: - Steve Hanson, Regional Director [email protected] or 218-766-9997
