"At Timberlake, my son “grew about ten years in the 12 days he was at Farm and Wilderness. We are complete and total converts. He will definitely be back and I think it will be a touchstone for him in his life. I cannot put into words how wonderful it was for him.”
“F&W seems to have done a good job of reinventing itself within the continually shifting context of our larger society without sacrificing its identity.”
"Camp was an absolutely transformative experience for him — all we hoped and more. He LOVED every minute of it. It bolstered his confidence, encouraged him to communicate, and take responsibility for his relationships including his relationship with the natural world. He’ll be back.”
