Red Spruce Grove Off-the-Grid Summer Camp
confidence in self and community Life in the Wild
Immersed in a small wilderness community, campers learn to live off-the-grid, unplugged and close to the land. While cooking over an open fire, they create tasty meals, build shelters, learn ax and knife safety, archery and other wilderness-living skills.
Amid the knot tying and blueberry picking, campers learn resilience and self-reliance. They emerge from the experience stronger, more confident, aware and capable.

Red Spruce Grove Camp Activities
Campers, who start off together at Indian Brook Camp, hike to their site on a wilderness plateau. After their time living closely to the land in a small, supportive community, they return excited and eager to share their experiences and wilderness craft with other camps.
Red Spruce Grove Gender Inclusive Summer Camp
At Farm & Wilderness, we offer all campers the opportunity to choose a camp environment that best supports their gender identity. Red Spruce Grove is a gender inclusive summer camp for those that identify as female or gender non-binary. Like all of the camps in the Farm & Wilderness system, Red Spruce Grove provides gender education and a safe space for campers to share their thoughts on gender, and to become familiar with others’ experiences.
"I learned how to invite fire using a bow drill kit, which made me feel self-sufficient and more connected to the Earth. I also learned how to live in the present and more deeply appreciate my surroundings, whatever they may be."

What a week! At our community meeting yesterday, we were reflecting on all of the things we’ve done so far at Red Spruce Grove… it feels like it’s been a month! Here are some the camper’s highlights of our first week at The Grove:
Beginning With Equity and Gratitude
Every time we sit down as a community at Red Spruce Grove, I walk away feeling so inspired by the meaningful things that have been shared – even on the second night! Last night, we had our first talking circle, where we wrote a values contract together.
