Calling all young adults looking to make an impact in the ministry of camp! the leadership in Camp Ministry (lCM) intern-ship program at timber-lee offers a unique nine-month paid internship that provides hands-on training experience designed specifically to equip college-aged participants (roughly 21 to 27 years old) with ministry and business skills that are needed in Christian camping.

On Labor Day, September 1946, a group of people crowded into a Boy Scout cabin, the only building on 20 acres in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, to discuss the creation of a new non-for-profit camp.

World War II just ended, thus making Army surplus available. The non-profit purchased twenty 12x12 tents,100 double bunks, and 200 mattresses to accommodate 133 campers, 19 counselors, and a tent for army surplus storage of Kool aid, food, etc.

Led by the first Executive Director, Rolf Egeland, who still volunteers today, over 200 volunteers would arrive every Saturday in the spring to run the first year of the non-profit’s beginning season. High school and college-age staff tunneled under an 18’ wide highway to run a water main only 10 days before the first camp week started.

1972, on a bitterly cold winter morning, Carl Weir and several members of the Board of Directors drove to East Troy, about 25 miles north of Williams Bay, to see a 550-acre piece of property that was for sale. This site is where Timber-lee is located today!
