Rooted in deep traditions and experiential programs, Far Brook School’s summer camp aims to provide students with a meaningful experience that reflects the school’s educational approach of being hands-on and inquiry-driven, intentionally diverse within a small community, arts-infused and STEAM-powered, as well as grounded in nature.
Since 1948, Far Brook’s progressive approach has provided a unique combination of inquiry-based learning that’s intrinsically connected to high academic standards. “These values inspire campers to fuel their passions and awaken their curiosity by creating a supportive and caring camp community that cherishes a love of learning, movement, creativity, diversity and individuality,” says Director of Strategic Operations Melissa Williams.
Far Brook’s beautiful wooded nine-acre campus feels more like a small village than a traditional school. Facilities include an indoor climbing wall, multi-purpose spaces, a music and arts building, walking paths and a nature trail. Camp sessions run over nine weeks for preschoolers through tenth graders.
Program options include a traditional day camp, weeklong “master classes” taught by Far Brook faculty, and athletic programs. Day campers also have the option to participate in swim lessons at Swimquest Millburn, adding another opportunity for skill-building and confidence in a safe, structured setting. Lunch is available for purchase, and the camp offers both morning and afternoon extended care.
“Parents often tell us they value our welcoming campus, outstanding facilities and dedicated staff, but what resonates most is how our program encourages children to play, think and grow with purpose,” Williams says.
