About
Camp Woodbrooke is an overnight summer camp where campers take part in activities such as a bike trip, a canoe trip, hiking, camping, helping raise animals, working in the garden, playing games, and helping in the kitchen. The camp emphasizes a close relationship with nature in small groups and includes a program for teenagers that expands on experiences and skills developed as younger campers. Teens take either a bike or canoe trip and camp along the way, and no more than 34 campers attend at a time, so staff get to know everyone.
• Ages: 7–15 years old
Camp Woodbrooke was founded in 1980 by a Quaker couple, Jenny and Al Lang, and in 2006 its operations were transferred to a non-profit group. It is operated and managed by Camp Woodbrooke, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. The camp is rooted in Quaker traditions of simplicity, harmony, peace, responsibility, and equality, and while it was founded by Quakers, it welcomes campers from all spiritual traditions. Its mission is to provide a nurturing, safe, and sacred place for children to experience the natural world, take appropriate risks, and gain confidence. Campers make cooperative decisions about activities, participate in daily work crews, and engage in tasks such as helping raise animals, working in the garden, playing games, helping in the kitchen, hiking, and camping. The converted barn is central to the life of camp, the cabins are simple and open, and the garden is tended as a way to connect to the land and supply food. Camp Woodbrooke states that it provides equal opportunities for all and that all actions are taken without regard to race, creed, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual preference, ancestry, age, veteran status, or any physical or mental disability, and that discrimination or harassment is prohibited.
The Administrative Director is Zoey Richter, the Summer Camp Director is Jill Tikkun, and the Clerk of the Board of Directors is Carl Houtman, who is also a founder of Camp Woodbrooke. The members of the board of directors include Friends (Quakers), former campers, business professionals, and skilled camp administrators. Many volunteers assist with seasonal maintenance, camper recruitment, website work, and office help. At Woodbrooke, campers and staff encourage each other to be the most complete human possible, and the camp describes itself as unique in its emphasis on living in community, its devotion to diversity, and its focus on fostering the growth of the whole person.
