Here's What Former Staff Members Have to Say...

"...Not a day goes by that I don't put to use something I learned from the richness of the experiences that Longacre provided for all of us.  Each time I tell the story of my summer, I'm reminded of the incredible transformations that occurred in the kids, the staff and in myself.”--Elizabeth S.

“Everything that is Longacre (the dream, the history, the many people who have helped make it happen, and who continue to do so) is special.  It has somehow achieved some sort of positive critical mass that continues to grow and expand, touching people, changing them...The Longacre philosophy and style is a wonderful yardstick by which I can measure other situations in my life.”--Mike S.

“I like having a crew, discussing stuff, exploring with teenagers, the way the farm looks from the top of the hill coming from the campsite heading towards the animal barns in the mornings.  I like how much responsibility the kids are given.  I like all the creativity that flies around all over the place.  I like working with people and seeing others work with each other...”--Julie M.

“I hope all is running smoothly and that you are finding wonderful children and adults to form that strange, magic community you manage to pull off each summer.  Seriously, as age teaches me more and more, I often re-discover my admiration for Longacre.”--Dana T.

“The Farm is such an amazing place which helps us all to grow and continue to push ourselves.  I am so lucky to have been a part of it for so many summers and feel so thankful and lucky to have been part of the team.”--Liz K.

“I am so grateful for having found the Farm...I want to say thank you so much for your generosity of spirit, openness and understanding.  This summer has meant so much to me.”--Dave C.
