I’ve collected quotes from applications from former IB campers. They’ve been inspiring for me as I plan for my first summer at Indian Brook.
“From ages 9-12, my time at Indian Brook as a camper was always the time I felt most myself. Physically, I felt strong and healthy. At the end of a month of eating good food, moving my body constantly and sleeping like a ROCK, I returned home feeling strong and rejuvenated. Emotionally, I felt relaxed and joyous. When not “plugged in” to either technology or the everyday worries of life away from camp, I was forced to find other ways to entertain myself and other ways to focus my energy. My times making wool hats, playing acoustic guitar and telling ghost stories mark some of my most cherished memories. Also, the uniquely interdependent community that was created in the camp environment left me feeling a closeness with my fellow campers and with the staff that extended far beyond friendship. We were family. As a potential staff member at Indian Brook I am eager to return to that camp environment and once again enjoy these same benefits. “
