    Hi Everyone, I would love to hear from former campers. My many Timbercrest years were some of my favorites of all time. I was there for the opening Dedication of Timbercrest.  I still have photos and multiple memories of my many years from Day Camp, CIT, and Camp Staff. Sorry I can't make it, we were just up North for my high school reunion, and I don't travel as much anymore. Vero Beach is a beautiful, quiet, and fun place to visit if you are every in the area. We are about 2 hours South of Disney. Have an amazing weekend for me.
