Camp Glen Brook

Camp Glen Brook Weaving Waldorf Education with Traditional New England Camping since 1946 Students and teachers from many other schools and places soon began to arrive.

History

In 1946, the 200-acre farm was purchased by William Harrer, a teacher from The Rudolf Steiner School in Manhattan, as a place for school children to spend summers away from the city in the sun, breezes and waters of New Hampshire. The camp reached a capacity of 75 campers, a limit Camp Glen Brook maintains to this day in order to ensure the close family atmosphere that is as magical for k

ids as it was for some of their parents and grandparents 60 years ago. In 1973, through the efforts and generosity of Peter Curran, the Waldorf School of Garden City acquired Camp Glen Brook. Today, Camp Glen Brook continues to weave together the tradition of New England sleep-away camp with many of the ideas from Waldorf / Steiner schools, one of the fastest growing independent educational movements in the world. Waldorf schools are known for their balanced, holistic approach to education, a clear view of child development and a recognition and deep respect for the spiritual core of each human being and the relationships that arise between them. Growing up is a precious time that must not be hurried or harmed. A high-speed, media-driven, materialistic culture which touches our children too closely and too early may produce undesirable long-term outcomes. Here at Glen Brook, children – and adults – have the opportunity to experience the peace of living in harmony with the natural world. Non-Discrimination Policy

Glen Brook is committed to fostering a fully-inclusive community and welcomes students, campers, and staff of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, gender identities, socio-economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and spiritual values.
