Flying Cloud Activities
Wilderness, beckoning and immediate, invites exploration of how to live in a gentle, unrushed community.
Wake up to crackling fires and bird song in Flying Cloud’s forest-ringed clearing surrounded by hundreds of acres of wilderness. Removed from clocks, camp life unfolds simply with games and adventures from sunrise to starlight in an off-the-grid summer.
Gender at Farm & Wilderness
Farm & Wilderness strives to empower young people to understand and navigate the social pressures they encounter in their lives, pressures that may be related to their gender identity. At Farm & Wilderness, we offer community members the opportunity to choose a camp environment that best supports their gender identity. To this end, all programs educate about gender during the summer to provide a safe space for campers to share their thoughts on and experiences with gender, and to become familiar with others’ experiences.
"I feel closer with people here than I do anywhere else. I know everyone, and everyone knows me."
