    Our academically challenging, independent private day school’s eight-acre campus is surrounded by nature and located in the heart of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. We work closely with our families to foster the growth of whole, well-rounded, and happy children and to inspire an appreciation for the natural world.

    “I was amazed at the accomplishments the campers achieved on a daily basis. The best part was when the children recognized those achievements and showed their excitement in the form of cheers and high-fives. TimberNook is a perfect fit for Collage as it benefits the whole child while adding all that nature has to offer.”
