Timberlake Activities
Summer moves from moment to moment – building community by swishing sudsy dishes and weeding gardens to performing zany skits to experiencing challenges on wilderness trips. At all times, campers revel in silliness, friendship and fun.
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.
"It’s the only place I feel comfortable being myself and not being judged. I had the time of my life."
