Future Work Weekends

At least once per year, the Friends of Timbercrest gather at camp to clear and maintain trails, chop and split wood, paint what needs to be painted, and do various other projects which are mutually decided upon by FOT and GSWNY. The previous sentence used to say "Twice a year..."

Beginning in Spring of 2025, one of the Council's strategies to achieve their financial goals is to increase rentals on camp properties. Fall is a popular time for camp use and so, our Fall 2025 Work weekend has been cancelled to allow for a rental.

CANCELLED: Fall 2025 Work Weekend - Timbercrest
Friday-Sunday, October 17-19, 2025
  • Cancelled by council because of a paying rental.

Spring 2026 Work Weekend - Timbercrest
Friday-Sunday, April 24-26, 2026  - confirmed and locked in.

Timbercrest Tidbits

Picture
FOT works in partnership with GSWNY to plan, schedule and run "Timbercrest Tidbits" - tasty little bites of camp. It is our hope that girls will have positive experiences at Timbercrest and be inspired to come back with their troops for troop camping, as well as on their own to summer camp.

Registration for Timbercrest Tidbits is through GSWNY. Fees are kept low thanks to generous donations from our Friends. The registration fee stays with GSWNY and FOT covers any costs of the program, including the tidbit segment patch. The round Camp Timbercrest patch is available for purchase at each program for $2.

Check the council Events Calendar. Look for "Timbercrest Tidbits."
