IMAGE CAPTION - Creating greatness at Timberlake!

Well the camp you remember is beginning to change like crazy! Not only is it really cold with changing leaves, but we have drained the lake to build a new swim area and the new field is almost completely cleared and ready to begin the leveling process. It is crying out for some intense Commando games. I can see those balloons flying already!

A few folks have asked me, "So where exactly is this field?" Well here goes. If you are running up the Paintball trail (or I guess you could walk) when you get to the bend that has a small bunker (to the left) you turn right and walk across that dirt road on the farthest right portion of the paintball course. This road goes up to that old rusty bus in the woods. The new field is across that road to the right and up the mountain a pretty good ways. At the top it has a really beautiful view!

So who have you hired for next summer since the last post?

I am so pleased to tell you that we have two Auburn Tigers from Huntsville, Alabama, camp legend Brent Bundrick, and last year's awesome Outback counselor, Adam Hess! We are in process of trying to convince the rest of this past summer's staff to return, so make sure to call or email your favorite counselor and tell them how much you want them to come back to Timberlake.

So until next time!

The Iroquois number increases at Timberlake!

So many fabulous changes are going on as we speak! The lake is being drained so that work can begin on our new dock for the swimming area. This will be similar in construction to the new canoe dock. And of course, Bobby is about to get back on the previously halted construction of the new slide. Finally, there is a huge bulldozer in the woods up above the paintball course moving dirt around an area that will be home to many a Timberlake evening activity and eventually some Timberlake upper cabins! So you guys remember Mackey's green right? Well this field when finished will be bigger than Mackey's green! And sure, all of this stuff seems like great news for everybody here and we are so excited about it, but to tell you the truth, the only thing I can think about is how excited I am because my son, William Robb Singletary was born on Thursday! The Iroquois tribe is constantly growing, and I am proud to say that my wife, Annie and I have been given a strapping young boy who is sure to be an asset to his tribesmen!

So Until next time!
