Spring 2025 Work Weekend

Friday - Sunday, April 25-27, 2025

Registration
Click here to register by Friday, April 18, 2025, please.
The purpose of the weekend is to work! But fun will be had, as usual. Visitors who are not able to work are welcome to join us for lunch on Saturday when we will welcome Jerilyn Hickey, Development Director for GSWNY, to speak about the Juliette Gordon Low Society. Even if you are coming only for lunch Saturday, please use the link above to register.

Merchandise
  • Socks: We are not coordinating this sale. You are on your own. Ro has declared the Fiddlehead Pattern of Solmate Socks (mismatched with love) the Official Sock of FOT. Find yours at a local vendor, or order online: solmatesocks.com/products/fiddlehead-crew-socks
  • ​Lounge Pants: Check back for a link to order lounge pants in our official FOT plaid (Dress Gordon) and with our FOT logo.
    UPDATE: The pants won't be available for the Spring Work Weekend. They should be available again by fall.
  • Shenanigans: To participate in the Spring 2025 shenanigans, bring a blank t-shirt, sweatshirt, bandana, or other fabric item. It's a surprise! (But I bet you can guess the general idea.)

Donations Appreciated
If you register, there will be a link after you submit to allow for an optional online donation toward food and supplies. If you cannot attend and wish to help out financially, you can send a check made out to FOT to Jennifer Schlick, 35 Marvin Ave, Lakewood NY, or donate online by clicking here.

Future 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.

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."
