Timber-Lee Christian Center
Since 1972, Timber-Lee Christian Center has operated a year-round Christian camp, conference and retreat center under the auspices of the Forest Lakes and Great Lakes Districts of the Evangelical Free Church of America.  Timber-Lee is located near the southern part of Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine State Forest.  It is 45 minutes southwest of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and 2 hours northwest of Chicago, Illinois. The site encompasses over 600 acres of wooded, rolling, scenic land, and contains 65 existing buildings.  Its mission is to create engaging communities where each young person encounters Christ through a dynamic camp experience.

History
On July 14, 1946, a group of men made an offer of $5,000 to the railroad company to purchase 20 acres of weedy marshland in Williams Bay, Wisconsin.

With the help of an army of volunteers, the “Williams Bay Evangelical Free Church Bible Camp” opened its doors the summer of 1947.  Thus began the adventure of seeing God work in the lives of thousands of boys and girls, men and women.

By 1972, it was apparent that the camp was too small to accommodate the number of people and programs being planned.  On a bitterly cold winter morning, several board members took a drive to East Troy, about 25 miles north of Williams Bay, to see a 550 acre piece of property that was for sale.  There were several beautiful stone buildings on the grounds, many mature trees, and gently rolling hills.  Other groups made offers on this same property but God had plans for it. The bid made by the board was accepted and Timber-lee Christian Center was born.  The move was made from Willabay to Timber-lee in the spring of 1972 – just in time to open camp for the summer.
