Activities
What is there to do at Timberline?
Just horses? Well, for a lot of people horses would be enough. But we know that's not for everyone all the time, so Timberline has a much wider variety to offer.
Activities vary, depending on the age group and whether you're attending one of our camp-sponsored events or renting the facilities as a guest group.
Here's an example of the variety we have:
- Trailriding, where you can go up in the bush or out on the dikes or trails and enjoy the wind in your hair as you trot along.
- Challenge Courses, including a 16-part low-level ropes course with beginner, intermediate and expert challenges, as well as a team-building course with 8 cooperative elements. These provide a wide range of opportunities for learning together and helping people leave their comfort zones.
- BMX Track for those who prefer wheels under them instead of hooves. We have two tracks for riders of different abilities.
- Skateboard Park for the summer, where we bring out the boards, ramps and half-pipe -- for those who want to rip it up!
- Horsemanship, where you can learn more about caring for and training horses, and of course Riding lessons to learn Western style riding.
- Climbing Wall and Rock Face, for those who want the thrill of the climb. We supply all the safety equipment and instructors - you provide the energy and enthusiasm!
- Archery Range, set up on the corner of the Ranch property, so you can do some serious target practice.
- Game Zone, which includes several fun and relaxing activities.
- Riflery Range, where we set up targets or cans to test your aim and learn new skills. The Ranch has a number of pellet rifles available with proper supervision.
- Swimming Pool, for a refreshing dip on those hot days. The pool is perfect for water volleyball and other games. Guest groups using the pool are required to provide a lifeguard or other adequate supervision, but camp-sponsored events always include trained lifeguard supervision when the pool is open. Open April 15 through October 15.
- Petting Zoo, where we have goats, chickens, ducks, rabbits, Jersey calves, and a variety of other farm animals. The occupants change throughout the year, but April to October there are interesting and fun young animals to get up close and personal with!
- Ping Pong, Air Hockey, and Foosball tables are also available in the basement of the lodge.
- Hayrides, for some good, old fashioned fun! Guest groups may book hayrides for up to 35 people at a time.
