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.

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.

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.
