Camp Woodbrooke Facilities

The barn is the main structure at camp. It was built in the 1880's and has been refitted and modernized to suit camp needs. This is where we eat our meals and plan the day's activities. Downstairs is the dining room, kitchen, and camp office. The upstairs has been converted into a large activity room with games, puzzles, pingpong table and library. The infirmary and camp director’s apartment are also upstairs.

The cabins are nestled in the woods. They are primitive open-faced design with 8 built-in bunks and shelves for personal belongings. There are 5 or 6 campers with 2 staff in each of 6 cabins. Campers really get to know people in their cabin. It's a great place to make friends! When campers are asked if these cabins should be closed up or made more sophisticated, most insist on keeping them just the way they are!

The garden is a central part of camp life. Not only does it provide food, it allows our campers to develop their observation skills and understand on a deep level how the earth nourishes us.

The pond is spring-fed with two swimming sections divided into a shallow and deeper section. It is a great place to learn to swim (or improve your skills). There is a lifeguard and a buddy board, where campers turn their tag over to indicate they are in the water. Common activities during pond time are swim, jump off the platform, play games in the water, look for pond life, or build sand castles on the beach. We offer basic canoe instruction for all.

The shower house is centrally located amidst the cabins. Both sides have hot and cold running water, showers, and flush toilets. There are individual shelves and towel racks for campers' toiletries. The warm water is solar heated using a system that was completely upgraded and rebuilt in 2009.
