My 14 year old son has been an every other year camper at Farm & Wilderness's Camp Timberlake, and…read morehas reported having a great experience each time. He got familiar with animals and barn duties in his first year, hiking for long treks (16 and 26 miles in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks!) in his second year, and bouldering in nature in his third, all the while making strong bonds with fellow campers and counselors. He looks forward to coming back as a counselor one year, and I couldn't be more excited for him. My 9 year old daughter had the opportunity of attending Firefly Song for her first time this year. She came home with wonderful memories of the camp community, and revealed in describing to us her daily routine -which included chores, Quaker inspired silent meetings and songs, and swimming in the lake every single day! She can't wait to keep going back.

After one good summer at Timberlake, we uncovered the ugly underbelly at Farm & Wilderness…read more In 2023, when other camps had moved on from all Covid protocols, F & W insisted on three days of covid testing from their campers at the outset. When they finally extracted a positive test from a cabin mate of my twin boys, the 5 remaining cabin kids were separated from the camp, made to wear masks indoors and out for 10 days. About half of their session. Despite testing negative consistently. When asked why in the year 2023 they were going well beyond CDC guidelines with their policy, there were no good answers. "Unfortunately, Covid isn't behind us yet, but we gave your cabin an oreo cheesecake and they loved it." Farm and Wilderness could be a great version of itself, outdoors and unplugged and accepting and spirited, but unfortunately they are entangled in a strange ideology where they think they can control what is not controllable. Predictably it backfired. Every kid ended up with a debilitating case of norovirus at the end of the session and my twins came back upset from a summer of isolation and pariah-like exclusion from the campers. Lasting bonds weren't made and refunds weren't offered. It's their policy to make, obviously, it's just not grounded in the child's actual experience. It's grounded in fear.

I grew up in between NYC & southern Vermont (in South Newfane about 20 minutes from Marlboro's…read morecampus actually) so I decided I wanted to attend college in New England when the time came for me to look at colleges and universities. Ok, so, I had spent a fair amount of time on Marlboro's campus growing up: my parents (who were both CUNY Professors) had friends and colleagues who taught at Marlboro, I'd attended the Marlboro Music Festival growing up, I'd toured the campus numerous times, and had my admissions interview. I got in. I NEVER would have gone there. It's INSANELY small. Bordering on incestuously TINY. ALL the students knew each other and were up in each other's business. Brattleboro (a town I LOVE) is 20 minutes away by car, and there is literally NOTHING around Marlboro itself. I would have gone stir-crazy there. Even Bennington College was better (although not by much either), but Bennington seemed more academically credible and at least was IN the town of Bennington itself and had civilization around it. Amherst/Northampton was a BUSTLING METROPOLIS comparatively. Ergo, I chose Hampshire over Marlboro. I sometimes even found Hampshire too small and insular at 1,400+ students, so I would have found Marlboro COMPLETELY intolerable at 300. However, all that said, there were components of Marlboro's academic structure I found interesting. And the location of Marlboro is gorgeous. Vermont is gorgeous. However, Marlboro was TOO SMALL and isolated for me. Years later, a neighbor of mine in Brooklyn told me her son had gone to Marlboro and LOVED it. So, I guess it ALL depends on what you can individually put up with. I can't deal with not having culture and civilization around me, balanced out by beauty and nature and being outdoors. I need both.

here for the semester with awesome people. friendliness abounds. the place is just classic new…read moreEngland charme

Amazing place to camp! The people and staff are incredible and attentive. The cabins are livable…read moreand plentiful in space. It's gorgeous in scenery!

Visited this camp for a church men's retreat and the place was pretty amazing for the overall value…read moreand what you got. They have various sleeping quarters and while I'm not sure what's the worst quarters they have I did get assigned one of the houses that had multiple rooms with private bathrooms in each. I've been to camp facilities in the past where you have to walk through the woods at 3am for a potty break at a designated outhouse. The fact that Spofford had private bathrooms in each room of the large house was a really nice treat. While it wasn't a 5 star hotel it was a pretty amazing compared to other camping facilities I've visited in the past. The sanctuary they have is absolutely beautiful. It's so nice inside it almost seemed like it was brand new or relatively new. The camp is situated right next to a lake for summer fun although it was cold during my visit so nobody ventured into the water. The camp offers several simple activities to keep yourself entertained. The cafeteria is really nice, large and food is fairly good. They had an unlimited supply of coffee on hand for us which was a neat treat. Overall it's really a nice camp for the value you get and what is provided. If you come expected a 5 start luxury facility then you will be sorely disappointed but if you've been to other camp facilities this place is pretty top notch.
