Mark Faiwell has always wanted to own a
camp, since he was fifteen years old. His dream came true this year
when he bought the camp from Harold Hiken. He had been to Timberlane
for 14 years as the head of tripping and as an S.C. He feels that the
main reason he bought the camp is because if he hadnt, someone
else would have, and the tradition of Timberlane would be changed. In
the next year, Mark plans on changing the trim color of all buildings
in camp from blue to brown (only a few buildings in camp have been
painted so far), so that the camp will blend in better with the
woods.
Also, the present Blue and White competitions will be changed to
Brown and White. Other changes in coming years include resurfacing
the tennis courts, and repaneling the insides of every cabin. More
socials are being planned for next year, including one with camp
Otahnagon. Competition next year will be with Camp Red Arrow in a
whole day of athletic activity.
This year we also competed with Red Arrow, as well as Camp Kawaga
first session; both proved to be very enjoyable for those who
participated.
REMEMBER...TIMBERLIFE will also be
back next year with bigger and better things to write about, so if
you didnt get a chance to write an article this year,
dont worry well be back!!!!!!!
