Welcome to ThorpeWood
A Mountain Retreat for At-Risk Youth
| ThorpeWood is a mountain retreat for at-risk youth. We are situated in a secluded hollow of Catoctin Mountain, a beautiful setting that includes forests, mountain meadows, pastures, wetlands, and native trout streams. Our mission is to provide year-round, exceptional customized programs that are intended to help change the lives of the young people we serve. |
| Our experiential learning center also offers community programs, promotes sustainable living and encourages environmental stewardship. The timber frame lodge models selected aspects of environmentally sensitive construction including reused materials, composting toilets and energy-conserving systems. Our grounds host native plant gardens that celebrate and promote biodiversity.
ThorpeWood also serves as a host for various scientific endeavors including our Hybrid American Chestnut Orchard, the Hagen Arboretum and other projects.
To help fund these programs, we rent our facilities for weddings, conferences, retreats, meetings and other events.
ThorpeWood, Inc. is a 501-c 3 not-for-profit organization. |
