This website is owned and operated by the Friends of Timbercrest (FOT). It is not an official website of GSUSA or GSWNY.

FOT works in partnership with GSWNY to preserve, enhance, and promote Girl Scout Camp Timbercrest that it may always be a place where girls can connect with nature, try new things, and build confidence & self-reliance.

Friends of Timbercrest Work Weekends

Twice a 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. For these events, we handle our own registration.

These work weekends are already on the GSWNY calendar:
Fall 2022 (Minimal) Work (and Maximal Relax) Weekend - Timbercrest
Friday-Monday, October 7-10, 2022
  • We're calling it the Five/Fifty-five - a celebration of FOT's 5th anniversary and the 55th anniversary of residence camp at Timbercrest. There will be work projects for those who like to do that. But there will also be opportunities for networking, resting, relaxing, hiking, boating, etc.
  • Click here for more details and to register. (There is an option to provide contact information for a directory, if you can't attend but want to reconnect with all your Timbercrusties!)
  • DEADLINE to register or provide info for the directory: September 25.

Timbercrest Tidbits

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.

There are no Tidbit programs currently scheduled.
