About Gap at Glen Brook
Our nature- and farm-based gap year semester program explores sustainability through hands-on skills. Gap at Glen Brook empowers young adults to create sustainable lives and resilient communities. We work toward this mission through place-based, experiential learning rooted in sustainable farming, homesteading skills, nature connection, intentional community, and self-inquiry.
Our program is nested within Camp Glen Brook, a year-round outdoor education center in southern New Hampshire, right in the heart of New England. Camp Glen Brook has offered Waldorf education-inspired programs– including summer camp, school, family programs, and Gap – on its 250-acre forest and farm facility since 1946.
