Philosophy
At its core, F&W is about a little slice of the natural world nestled in the green hills of Vermont. Since the inception of the camps, camp activities have been rooted in the location - the lake, the woods, the pastures, the streams - and how we all may learn to live comfortably in a natural setting.
We are not simply residents of this place, we are also stewards of it. F&W teaches that, in the activities of our daily lives, we have a responsibility to understand and care for the natural systems of the earth that sustain us. To do otherwise would be negligent and foolhardy.
At F&W, in everything we do, we endeavor to leave as small a footprint on the earth as possible and to practice and teach environmental sustainability.
