Internship information

General Farm Description: Nestled in the hills of southern New Hampshire, Camp Glen Brook is a long-standing educational and wilderness camp committed to fostering curiosity, creativity, resilience, and responsibility in young people. Through small group experiences, outdoor adventure, and meaningful work, campers are invited into a community that values both personal growth and care for the living world. At the heart of this work is the Glen Brook Farm—a working, diversified educational farm that serves as both a classroom and a cornerstone of daily camp life. The farm includes vegetable gardens, pasture, and livestock, and is managed using ecological, soil-building practices rooted in stewardship and regeneration. Campers and staff participate directly in the rhythms of the farm: planting, harvesting, caring for animals, cooking from the garden, composting, and observing seasonal change. The farm is not a side program at Glen Brook—it is a living teacher. Through hands-on work, shared meals, and close observation of land and animals, campers gain a deep, practical understanding of where food comes from, what it takes to care for a place, and how human choices shape ecological health. The farm grounds the camp’s broader mission by cultivating patience, responsibility, cooperation, and a lasting connection to the natural world.

This role provides meaningful professional development for those interested in education, sustainable farming, environmental work, or summer camp leadership.

Skills Desired: Experience working with youth, especially in outdoor or farm/garden settings Practical knowledge of small-scale farming, gardening, or animal care Ability to lead groups safely and confidently in a dynamic outdoor environment Positive, reliable, flexible, and collaborative work style Ability to perform physical farm tasks in all weather Prior experience in education, summer camps, or environmental/agricultural programs is helpful but not required
