Mission & Activities
In the early days of F&W, the families who had sons attending Timberlake wanted a similar camp for their daughters, so Indian Brook, a camp for girls, was started in 1941. Over the past 65 years, Indian Brook has developed a very strong program that is uniquely designed for girls ages 9-14.Indian Brook revolves around the central values of community, interconnectedness and caring for the group.
At Indian Brook, each girl's individual strengths, skills and interests are noticed and encouraged. She finds close companionship among her cabin mates and loving support from her cabin counselors.
In her daily activities, each girl is exposed to activities that will strengthen her body, encourage her creativity, pique her curiosity, and reveal to her many unknown skills and areas of interest. She is encouraged to try new things, challenge herself and take appropriate risks. For some the risks are physical, like swimming in the lake or hiking with a heavy backpack. For others, the risks may be social, like singing alone at a Cocoa House, or taking a stand with a group of friends.
Indian Brook’s program areas include:
- Barns & Gardens
- Work Projects
- Creative Arts
- Outdoor Living Skills
- Waterfront
