Summer at Far Brook

Meet the Camp

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—hands-on, inquiry driven; intentionally diverse, small community; arts-infused and STEAM powered; and grounded in nature.

Since 1948, Far Brook’s progressive approach has provided a unique combination of inquiry-based learning that’s intrinsically connected with 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 love of learning, movement, creativity, diversity and individuality,” says Director of Strategic Operations Melissa Williams.

Far Brook’s beautiful wooded, nine-acre campus is more akin to a small village than a school. Facilities include an indoor climbing wall, multi-purpose spaces, music and arts building, walking path and nature trail. Sessions are spread over nine weeks for preschoolers through tenth graders; open enrollment begins in early February.

Options include a traditional day camp and week-long “Master Classes” taught by Far Brook faculty. Weeklong sports clinics focus on skill development, rules of the sport and game play. Lunch is available for purchase and the camp also offers morning and afternoon extended hours.

“Parents have told us that they love our campus, facilities and highlycredentialed staff, but most importantly that our program combines play with thinking,” she says. “There’s something for everyone ages 3 to 15, from traditional day camp programming to specialty programs to our Young Leaders program for teens.”
