F&W Family Experiences
The Excitement Unfolds at Family Camp!
Farm & Wilderness Family Camp
Enjoy a week with your family in the beautiful Plymouth Valley.
Family campers work, play, create community and share the joys of late summer. Everyone is welcomed at Family Camp, regardless of age or family makeup. The program is relaxed and informaal and takes place at the IB facility. With the help of a small group of skilled Farm and Wilderness staff, campers implement and lead the activities they would most like to do.
Activities
Campers may lead in singing, weaving, canoeing, hiking, woodworking, tie-dying, swimming, playing music and developing skits, arts and crafts, Frisbee, board games, preparing meals, visiting and caring for the barn animals, picking fresh veggies from the gardens or baking apple pies with apples from the orchard.
Evenings
This is a special time where campers and families play games, make music and share stories around the campfire.
Farm & Wilderness facilities are available for rental during the non-summer months. We work with groups to design a retreat package that enhances their time together, whether that includes prepared meals, lifeguarding, or restful seclusion. Rental groups have included weddings, professional retreats, school groups, martial arts camps, spiritual groups, and family reunions.
