Spirited campers, meaningful actions.
A fierce, fun-loving community
Indian Brook Adventure Beckons
Playfulness is a part of Indian Brook with campers swimming in salad bowls, taking bubble baths in a pickup, and attending a goat wedding. So is the opportunity for campers to learn new skills; playing guitar, backpacking, and performing skits while they gain lasting friendships, self-awareness and resolve.

Indian Brook Activities
At Indian Brook, campers develop an appreciation of their strength, competence, and creativity. They explore the fullness of their identity, redefine failure, and build on success. They learn new skills; pottery, weaving, and carpentry while they gain lasting friendships, self-awareness and resolve. Indian Brook aims to inspire personal growth in campers while provoking curiosity, fierceness and an action-oriented attitude.

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.
