Rhoda “Wings” Brooks, (Camp Founder) holds an M.A. in Special Education and has way over 30 years of teaching and administrative experience. She has been in the Peace Corp, taught abroad, taught in a Spanish speaking magnet school, and had more adventures than the rest of the volunteers put together!

Past Board Members:
2021-2024 Tiffany Praeger “Gecko”, has been in a leadership role with Timbertop for 14 years! She has a degree in Camp Management from UW Stevens Point, and over 20 years of Camp and Environmental Education experience. Tiffany’s Timbertop passion stems from our ability to give children and teens who struggle to fit in, a place to feel connected to nature, make friends, learn independence, and to feel confident in who they are!
2021-2023 JB Kotlowski “Magellan”, has been part of the Timbertop Family for over 2 decades. She works as registered nurse in the Stevens Point Area.
2021-2023 Eric Renfert “Bigfoot”, grew up going to summer camp, learning the ropes from “Timber”, “Gecko”, and “Peaches”, who were his counselors as a kid. He first experienced Timbertop as a teen Counselor-In-Training volunteer in 2008, and has been back as a counselor or volunteer almost every year since. Eric loves the break from his day job as a structural engineer, and getting the opportunity to pass on some of the experiences that shaped his favorite childhood memories.
