Other programs consist of a variety of other areas: currently, f&w has eight summer time programs, each of which began at a different point over 80 years ago. At every camp, young people are challenged physically and socially, learn new skills, take exciting risks, and have time for quiet reflection. We emphasize building inclusive communities, celebrating difference, working and living simply, caring for nature, and respecting the light in every person. In each of our camp programs, you will find a variety of activities offered with a different focus, schedule, and individual camp traditions (such as songs, special days, all camp games, and so on). Although the activities vary, all camps have the same overall program goals, which align with our quaker values. Two of our remote camps focus on specific program areas; flying cloud offers simple wood craft and primitive living skills and saltash mountain provides travel and Wilderness challenge. We also have two offerings for 15-17 yearold teenagers; a longer Wilderness challenge and dynamic small group program. Red spruce grove campers learn to live off-the-grid, unplugged and close to the land. While cooking over an open fire, they create tasty meals, build shelters, learn ax and knife safety, archery and other wilderness-living skills. This camp is for girls and gender non binary. And for our youngest campers, the barn day camp offers day programming which includes swim lessons, arts and crafts, nature and trip skills, building projects and many other great adventures
