Traditions that weve built over the years have created our vibrant culture, and our openness to new ideas has kept Rowe growing and evolving.Our summer camps have inspired and delighted kids for 90 years. Our adult camps have developed over several decades into self-sustaining communities ready to welcome new members. Our weekend workshops have been providing a place to learn and grow in a small, intimate forum since 1974. Many of our outstanding teachers return again and again. Each year we also invite new, innovative teachers, keeping the energy of Rowe contemporary and fresh.Rowes philosophy arises from a deep faith in the fundamental goodness of human beings, the abiding miracle of life on earth, and the soul-sustaining beauty of creation. We offer workshops on nature and spirituality to connect people to the ineffable; on relationships and communication to connect people to each other; on politics and ideas to support people in creating a better world; and on self-improvement, creativity, and the arts to help people flourish. With program rates on a sliding scale, we go out of our way to make it possible for people to come here to learn, to rest, or just to enjoy a break from their lives. Rowe is a place to turn off your cell phone so you can be truly present, tune up your soul so you can be truly yourself, and drop into community so that you can be more fully human.
