Every Sunday our entire Indian Brook community comes together to appreciate what can happen on an empty/open stage. Each week our “Cocoa House” is a little different. Our oldest campers are the MC’s and our whole community can sign up to share their talents and ideas.

The performances range from silly skits written and acted out by First Lodgers to serious solos and poetry readings. This past week we had a camper go on stage and read an essay she had written after camp last year about how important IB had been in her life. The IB stage is a place where our campers and staff can share themselves, take risks, and celebrate each other.

I absolutely love it!
