Two years ago Mark Pearlstein re-introduced Track and Field as an activity at Camp Timberlane. The facilities which he had were very limited.l All he had were the athletic field, the camp road, and matresses for a high-jump pit.

The following year Mark persuaded Harold to purchase a fiberglass pole and two crash pads. This new equipment enabled a new event, the pole vault, and a better pit for the high jump. This year during pre-camp another facility was added. A 220-yard oval track was designed and painted by Steve Pratt and Jeff Mossler. This will enable us to hold any type of regulation running race in addition to introducing relays to the Camp Timberlane track and field program.
During the first section of activities, the interest was so high that boys signed-up for each of the two classes offered. Track and Field is truly becoming one of the biggest activities at Camp Timberlane.
