Farm and Wilderness Foundation

Farm & Wilderness Foundation (summer camp operator) is a non-profit, educational organization operating six summer camp programs for children and young adults, a family camp, and a farm and facilities rental business. Set on a beautiful 500-acre campus in the Green Mountains of Vermont, F&W programs are rich in adventure, community, and history. Farm & Wilderness Conservation, formerly the Ninevah Foundation, is a registered conservation agency responsible for nearly 5000 acres in Plymouth and nearby communities. Farm & Wilderness Foundation and Farm & Wilderness Conservation are separate non-profit entities overseen by one Executive Director and Board of Trustees.

We’re not just a summer camp, we’re an experience of a lifetime. All of our Farm & Wilderness camps strive to provide experiential education which helps to transform our community. We promote, support and educate our campers to face new challenges with courage and integrity as they participate in hands-on outdoor adventures. Campers learn hard work and joyful play all while living in a community setting and learning how to care for our environment. Our camps take pride in teaching hands-on technical skills to all our campers as they live, work and play in the wilderness. They learn to respect and understand the land and its relationship with our food. The campers learn the basics of fire-building and have an opportunity to prepare dishes with food they have harvested themselves from our farm. A sense of community and cooperation are valued above competition and comparison, leaving the campers feeling unique and valued. Campers are provided ample opportunity to step outside of their comfort zones, knowing that safety and acceptance are prioritized, as we celebrate the diversity of our community!
