Timber Lake West
A Catskills stay with a daily rhythm of water, sports and personal choices.
Set in Roscoe in New York’s Catskills, Timber Lake West has a private lake, heated pools and separate boys’ and girls’ campuses. Sports, waterfront periods and electives give the day a recognizable rhythm, balancing shared group experiences with individual interests.
