About Us

Your Hosts

The Catlin family has owned and operated Timberlock since 1964. Bruce and Holly Catlin are the current hosts with their three children, Caroline, Gus and Nick. Bruce’s parents, Dick and Barb, ran the camp for thirty-five years and continue to assist. Dick spent summers as a boy at the camp in the 40’s. Bruce's sister, Toni Catlin, is pursuing a career in music and often helps out at Timberlock. In the off season, Bruce and Holly live in Lincoln, Vermont, Dick and Barb live in Addison, Vermont.

The Timberlock Staff

We have a great crew of high school and college kids who put much spirit into the camp...many have been guests with their families, know the place well, love their work and enjoy being with people...it will be your pleasure to know them.

  • Wanted to send on a short note to tell you how much our family enjoyed Timberlock. It is a beautiful and improbable place and setting…Brigadoon like…

  • In spite of all the rain, Linda and I had a wonderful time. I really cannot conjure an improvement! You and the staff do a splendid job of delivering on the promise of your brochure. What you read is what you get!

  •  The years keep on rushing by, but Timberlock is among the few constants in our lives!

  • We had a wonderful week with everyone! We love the chance to meet and spend time with other families in such a beautiful and relaxed setting. And it is especially nice to see how much the kids enjoy just playing outside with friends all day long! Our week at TL is always one of the highlights of our year!

  • The best part about Timberlock is that you are forced to forget about work, home, commitments and just take in nature and a slower pace of life.

  •  It's kinda wierd cause I like TV, but Timberlock is my favorite place to go but it has no TV.

  • We had a wonderful vacation…bear cub, bald eagles, great skies at night, sailing and singing…maybe aching for a lifetime after climbing Snowy. What a treasure Timberlock is! And it is a secret and very effective rehab center for adults spending too much time with computers or children and teenagers spending too much time with video games, TV or cell phones…Keep up the good work!

  • We really didn’t have a chance to say goodbye, so we just wanted to tell you what a wonderful week we had with you. The young people at Timberlock are absolutely THE BEST we have ever encountered (except for our grandchildren, of course!). They obviously love being at Timberlock with the Catlin family, and it shows in how wonderfully they treat the guests.

  • I want to thank each of you for making my week at Timberlock special. Interesting and enriching conversations, laughter, bike rides, walks, hikes, just getting to know you and your children... It all makes for an amazing week for me and my family on so many different levels

  • These are things I like about Timberlock; the dog, the music, the food, the games, the sports, the woodshop, the cabins, the lake, the rope swing, the trampoline, the hikes, the sailing, the windsurfing, the magician, the kids lodge, getting launched. This is what I hate; Leaving. The end.
