Campers and counselors develop program activities using their talents and experience. There are opportunities to learn physical skills such as archery, woodworking, cooking, swimming, pottery, and canoeing; and life skills such as being responsible for one's actions, and making decisions alone or in a group. Each person in our small community contributes to the smooth running of camp. Daily crews include setting tables, caring for goats and chickens, cleaning, tending and harvesting the garden. Possible activities include birding, a search for animal tracks or special rocks, hiking or exploring. Projects might be digging clay, making the afternoon snack, building trails or constructing a goat house, etc. Other activities include swimming lessons, ultimate Frisbee, softball, the potter's wheel, camp craft (build a fire, set up a tent or shelter), and help cook supper are possibilities. In the evening, brush your teeth, snuggle into your bunk, listen to a story.....

Camp Woodbrooke specializes in simple outdoor living in a non-competitive, ecology oriented camp. The Woodbrooke program is based on the Quaker belief in the unique worth of each individual, the value of cooperation in our diverse community, and the creative exploration of our natural environment.
