This year an excellent new Karate program has been started at Timberlane. TIMBERLIFE talked about the activity with Karate head Steve Bratter.

“On our Karate program kids are learning various basic kick, punch, and block combinations; and, how to release themselves from many common holds.

Mark (Faiwell) has invested in top-quality Karate equipment to provide the best and safest program offered in the Northwoods.

Primarily, Karate will help give many kids the confidence they lack; and will give them the invaluable knowledge of how to defend themselves should the situation arise.”

Timberlane is one of the few camps to offer karate as a regular activity, and it looks as though it will be here for a long time to come."
