About Clearpool Summer Camp: Our 3.5-acre natural lake features a 30-foot waterfront for campers to splash, swim and boat. Miles of open green space provide ample room for sports and outdoor activities as well as experiential learning. Hands-on nature and skill-building activities help campers develop environmental awareness and new personal tools. Green Chimneys Summer Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed by the New York State Department of Health.

Brook Lyn the Sheep

Found abandoned in a box with her brother in Brooklyn, NY, this sheep was rescued as a newborn. After she was stabilized by a wildlife rehabilitator, she was driven up to Green Chimneys Farm where the children hand fed her with bottles of warm milk. The responsibility of becoming a caretaker for a little animal like Brook Lyn gives students a chance to recognize their own ability to make a contribution. Many of the children have been “taken care” of all of their lives by caring parents, concerned teachers and mental health staff, but stepping up and holding a bottle for this little orphan lamb transforms them from service receivers to service providers.
