With 125 campers, we know each boy by name and can respond to their personal needs. Located on a beautiful lake in Southern Maine with one mile of shorefront. 90% of our staff w

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Dick Howlett, a defining presence in the life of Timanous for over six decades.

Dick arrived as a camper in 1959, served as a counselor through the 1960s and early 1970s, and later helped conceive and establish the Timanous Foundation, where he was instrumental in guiding our transition to a nonprofit model. He understood that transition as an opportunity to broaden access to camp, and was a steady advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in our mission. As co-chair of the Development Committee, he fundraised and organized tirelessly to make that vision real.

In all of his roles, he served with humility, balance, and a deep sense of responsibility, always embodying the values of the place he loved. He had a way of encouraging others while never seeking the spotlight — the figure at the center of countless camp photographs across the decades, often with an arm around a friend.

A mentor, a friend, and a true keeper of the Timanous spirit. To know Dick was to be lifted by him, and his light will carry on in everyone whose life he touched.

This Tuesday is Giving Tuesday, and we have the chance to make a profound difference for one boy before the sun goes down.

Every gift—no matter the size—helps move us toward the match. Together, we’re helping make a Timanous summer possible for someone who needs it.

John took the Whaler along the Timanous shoreline today. The trees were glowing in full fall color, and a rainbow appeared behind the pines. Hard to imagine a better view.
