The Tyler Place

Our all inclusive Pre-Teen programs are designed to give preteens entering 5th, 6th and 7th grades a summer vacation they've only read about in books: long-lasting friendships, great college counselors, familiar and cutting-edge sports, and the independence that comes with a bike all one's own. The college counselors are skilled at making kids feel at home, and one of the best features of Tyler Place family vacations is that everyone arrives and leaves at the same time so making friends is effortless.

"With our oldest almost 12, we came up this year thinking this (our 11th) might be our last T.P. season. Now, as the week ends, we're already looking forward to next year here! Great job and wonderful week's vacation as always." -D & P, Katonah, NY, Farmhouse Up, 6/23-6/30. 2007

"Over the past 9 years The Tyler Place has become our favorite vacation place - opening week is the true beginning of summer for us. For our daughter, The Tyler Place outranks even Disney World. She wants to return as a counselor to be able to share her enthusiasm and love of this oasis with other children. On this trip, she also commented that when she marries and has children, she wants to bring them here - another generation of Tyler Place enthusiasts - Your formula is successful - thank you for the past 9 years. We and our daughter look forward to many more." -M & P, Bedford, MA, Inn #103, 5/25-6/02. 2007

"This was our 9th stay, so I guess you could say we've been voting with our feet. The Tyler Place took great care of our oldest as a baby, and this year our 10-year-old and 7-year-old both had a blast. Mom and dad got some couple time, boys get a combination of fun with friends and fun with family, everybody's happy." -D & K, Bedford, NH, Tyler North, 7/07-7/14. 2007

"It's wonderful to come back again for our 6th visit and participate in completely different activities. First time in the lake for me! Our son speeding off on his bike to group. Our other son hanging loose with his Pre-Teen friends. Plenty of time for the newspaper. It's great to be greeted like old friends by the staff (and to feel like old friends, too). We'll have to switch to next week but we know we'll see other friends there. Thanks again for a great week." -D & D, Washington, DC, Butterball, 6/09-6/16. 2007

"I would recommend The Tyler Place to anyone with children and I wish we had discovered it sooner! Our three girls were in the Pre-Teen and Teen groups and loved all of the activities, especially on the lake. The girls had a great time on their camping trip. They loved the tubing and Banana boat!" -S & K, Tallahassee, FL, Bluebill, 6/16-6/23. 2007

"In our 6th year at The Tyler Place, we have continued to discover new things to love about it. This year we tried the canoe and kayak trips as well as the low ropes course for the first time. Our children, who are 7 and 10, relish the independence they've been given and they've continued to solidify friendships they've now had for more than half their lives." -L & A, Pelham, NY, Goldeneye, 5/25-6/02. 2007

"The Tyler Place staff is outstanding! 'The food is excellent. The staff is nice and helpful. You can't go wrong with the accommodations. The activities are superb.' J.D. - age 11." -D & K, Novato, CA, Inn #1, 8/04-8/11. 2007
