Timpanogos Camp



"Mount Timpanogos" from Wikipedia


Just up the road from Highland is the beautiful American Fork Canyon. Within minutes anyone can be hiking the Timpanogos Cave trail or up further can enjoy hiking the backside of "Timp." This mountain range is the second largest in the Wasatch Range.

On 17 August 1989 the Timpanogos Camp was organized with 18 members. They continued until May of 1992 at which point the group was dissolved. In 2007 a different group of women decided to start a night camp and used this same name. This camp has been going strong since then as the only night camp in the Utah North Company. Like some of the other camps they have members from both Highland and Alpine. In 2010 they took a field trip to Fairfield to enjoy the history there.

Each month, September through May, they enjoy the lessons and getting to know many different women, afterwards enjoying scrumptous treats. Every December they hold a Christmas dinner party and exchange gifts. They are one of the younger groups of women in the Utah North Company and welcome new members.
