Camp Golden Timbers is a five-day, four-night camp held in Sonora. This volunteer-run camp that serves campers from 1st-12th grade, provides programs that are tailored to specific age groups and include: crafts, target sports, songs, canoes, games, horseback riding, back to the basics, nature, and more. The theme this year is 'Camp Golden Timbers Travels Through Time'. Pack your camp shirts and crazy socks, alongside attire for the 60's - 90's as you experience music through the decades. Campers sleep in cabins with cabin leaders, however, 6th grade campers get to experience the true camping experience in tents. Seniors, while still being able to participate in all the fun activities camp has to offer, are Counselors in Training and will assist other cabin leaders and camp directors in the running of the camp.
NOTICE: Your spot is not reserved until a payment is made. This includes participants requesting Financial Aid or Troop Treasure. We recommend paying the deposit to reserve your spot immediately.
