CTT was founded in 1967 by the Connecticut Valley Girl Scout Council with the mission of developing strong girls to be respectful, resourceful and make the world a better place. Their verdant forests attracted the musicians, environmentalists and healers of HeARTbeat Collective who came and began offering Unifier Festival on site in 2015.
In 2017 their dream came true when they were joined by Dance New England, who, through creative movement and dance also sought to ignite self-expression in a natural setting.
In 2019 Indigenous Elders from around the world joined the growing communities coming together as CTT hosted the Aniwa Gathering. They were also joined by the inspirational Odyssey Teen Camp. We are excited to be joining the Camp Timber Trails family of communities as we foster the founding girls’ vision of transformation and sustainability through dance, music, arts, healing, communication and the power of human spirit!
