TLH Outpost: Where every kid has a place to belong!

At TLH Outpost, we believe every kid deserves a place to feel safe, supported and free to be themselves. Here, screens are off, nature is open and connections are real. It's a space to explore, create, grow and enjoy being a kid!

  • At Outpost, kids unplug, explore, and simply be themselves. Each day is packed with hands-on adventures—from archery and outdoor challenges to creative projects and group games. With a 1:10 staff-to-camper ratio in age-appropriate groups, campers try new things, gain confidence, and form friendships that last. By the end of the day, they head home buzzing with excitement and stories they can’t wait to share. Outpost offers experiences for both our youngest adventurers and older kids ready for a little more independence.
