Weekly update week 1
Hello Camp Timberlake Family!!!
We’re having a great first week of campers and even though it is hot we’re feeling pretty cool. We have two sampler sessions-camp sampler and brownie sampler-and they are getting to try a little bit of everything. Our Right on Target girls have worked on grouping and today played with the flu flu arrows! Get Your Feet Wet has had a good solid day on the water and today worked hard to learn about the parts of the canoe.
Tomorrow evening our archery and canoeing girls will leave us, but we’ll be getting our Teddy and Me girls on Thursday. We are off to a great start!
Don’t forget to check Bunk1 and Facebook for pictures and more updates. Have a wonderful week!!

Camp is Right Around the Corner!
Hello Timberlake Friends and Family!
Believe it or not, our first campers of the season will walk into the Dining Hall in 144 days! I know I speak for many when I say that I am truly excited to begin another wonderful summer at camp 
Many of you are anxiously awaiting the Resident Camp Guide — this should be in your hands by mid-February! Take some time to browse through your guide and don’t forget to take the “Are You Ready for Resident Camp?” quiz to see which type of session is right for you!
Our Open House is on May 15th — check out www.gs-top.org for more information. We would love to see you and your family that day — come out and tour the camp to get a first hand look at the fun you’ll be having this summer!
Also, don’t forget that there are still plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun this spring — check out our events page — www.gs-top.org/events-calendar – to browse all of our events.

Thinking about summer yet?
Hello Timberlake friends and family!
Believe it or not we have been hard at work preparing for summer 2010 for several months now — it seems we finish with 2009 and jump straight into planning for 2010!
Heidi (director of Stevens Ranch) and I will hit the recruitment trail in January and visit several Texas universities and colleges to seek out our summer staff. We have already begun to accept applications, and there are a variety of positions to fill. Most of all we need staff members who are passionate about working with girls to help them grow into women of “courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.”
The beauty of a camp staff is that you have such a wide variety of personalities and experience — many staff are former Girl Scouts, friends of camp staff, education majors we find at college fairs and much more. Regardless of Girl Scout experience, if there is a candidate who is passionate about making a positive impact in a child’s life, the vision of Juilette Gordon Low is exciting and easy to support.
If you know of anyone who might find a summer at one of our camps rewarding and who would contribute greatly to our staff, have them e-mail lpower@gs-top.org for more information.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season full of friends and family, and I look forward to seeing your campers this summer!
Yours in camping,
Lindsay “Phoenix” Power

The first annual Camp-tastic! Film Festival will take place at Stevens Ranch November 6-8. This event for Cadette, Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts is a weekend workshop that will teach girls how to plan and create a short film. Girls will learn about aspects of the film process such as storyboarding, camera operation, how to edit, and more as they work on a short film in groups. Sunday the films will be screened and girls will have the chance to reflect on the process.
Registration space is limited and closes soon, so go to http://www.gs-top.org for more information and to register.
