What it reported doing in 2024

Tims camps provides youth with camp-based learning experiences that lay the foundation for success in young adulthood and beyond. In the multiyear summer experience, youth come to camp for 8 days at a time for four summers. Our programs focus on three major components of self, community, and future, and support youth in developing important social and emotional skills needed for success. Program components focused on self allow campers to learn more about themselves and their skills and abilities. They learn and practice setting, working toward, and modifying personal goals in the face of challenges. Tims camps programs also focuses on encouraging youth to look to their futures with hopeful expectations. Youth learn the skills to be successful in building positive relationships, healthy habits, pursuing post-secondary education, obtaining employment, and much more. With these skills, youth can envision a future in which they are able to achieve any goal they set their minds to. All program elements - self, community, and furture - are measured and generally increased measures pre- and post- program experience. Camper outcomes are focused on the 5cs of positive youth development.competence: youth develop transferrable technical, social, and emotional skills.confidence: youth develop a sense of self-worth and skill mastery.character: youth take responsibility, develop independence, and individuality.caring: youth show empathy and sympathy for others and understanding caring for others is important.connection: youths create positive relationships and foster positive interactions.measuring all five cs of positive youth development, we saw stability and increases in most of the cs.
