Campers will spend their days exploring Fernbrook, as well as local forests and waterways. Guided by two experienced and well-qualified staff persons, campers will spend their time on and off the farm engaging in activities that promote leadership, teamwork and ecological awareness. During off-site field trips twice a week, campers will visit local farms, hike the pitch-pine forests of the Jersey Pine Barrens, explore the coastline & paddle local waterways and engage in a weekly beautification project.
By working together and experiencing nature on and off the farm, campers will gain an appreciation for the interconnectedness of local history, agriculture and ecology. Not only will they develop an understanding of the natural world, but also an understanding of themselves and a “sense of place” within this world. Each day will provide the opportunity for new adventures, fun and learning.
