A Day at Camp Timber Trails
Tranquil Mornings: Start your day with the gentle sound of nature as the morning sun reflects off the lake. Enjoy a quiet moment on the dock, take a meditative walk through the forest, or sip a warm drink in the West Wind dining hall, a cozy and spacious indoor lounge. Begin your day with morning yoga on the lake to awaken your body and set your intentions for the day ahead.
Lively Afternoons: As the day warms up, the camp comes alive with outdoor activities. Swim in the private beach area, paddle across the serene lake in a canoe or kayak, or take part in interactive workshops and creative experiences. The Lakeside Amphitheater is a perfect spot for a picnic while enjoying live music, open mic nights, or acoustic performances.
Energetic Evenings: Community bonfires warm up the night, offering an inviting space to share stories and sing songs. For those seeking high-energy fun, glow parties light up the night, filling the dance floor with vibrant energy and music.

A Rich Legacy of Community and Transformation
Founded in 1967 by the Connecticut Valley Girl Scout Council, Camp Timber Trails was built with a mission to develop strong, resourceful, and respectful young women who would make the world a better place. Since then, the camp has continued to be a haven for transformational gatherings.
In 2015, the HeARTbeat Collective brought the Unifier Festival to the site, creating a space where musicians, environmentalists, and healers could unite.
In 2017, Dance New England joined, fostering self-expression through movement and creative arts.
In 2019, Indigenous Elders from around the world gathered here for the Aniwa Gathering, sharing wisdom and deepening the camp's legacy of cultural exchange.
The camp has also hosted the Odyssey Teen Camp, a program dedicated to inspiring and empowering young minds.
Now, as Stargaze Festival becomes a part of the Camp Timber Trails family, we continue this rich tradition of music, dance, healing, and celebration of the human spirit.
