THE CRAFTSBURY FUNNERY
Beginning in 2017, we met at a new place for us: at the Heartbeet Lifesharing Community just off Route 14 in Hardwick, south of the Craftsbury line. For those two weeks of the Funnery, that was the center of the known universe, while we went deep together and came up with a lively production of "The Tempest." In 2018, we were back at Heartbeet, hard at work on "that Scottish play."
Here's what some people say about "Get Thee to the Funnery"
"Thank you for all you have done for my son. When he started your camp the first year, it was a struggle for him to hug a stranger, and time spent outside his comfort zone was torture. Your camp stretched him on a daily basis and although it was difficult for him at times, this stretching resulted in an amazing amount of personal growth. His joy has expanded exponentially... Your unique combination of heart, body, mind and voice has been perfect for catapulting my son into a secure young adulthood. Thank you!" ~A Parent
"Camp has let me express myself and grow in ways I didn't know could happen. The layout of camp has such a beautiful balance of "easy" (yoga, meditation, games) and more difficult (improv, scene blocks, character development). I'm very glad I've pushed myself, and unfathomably grateful to the staff. Funnery truly is a microcosm of all the valuable and happy things of the world... Thank you SO much for everything you've done for me over these four summers. It means the world." ~A Camper
"Thank you for giving me the best two weeks of my year. When I came to Funnery this summer I was tired and stressed, I just wanted to lock myself in my room and sleep for 100 years. When I left camp, I had discovered who I was outside of who my school had made me be, and I was stronger and confident and ready for a new start in life. " ~A Camper
