Are you Ready To Go Beyond Summer Camp? At The Winchendon School Summer Programs, you can be yourself, discover yourself, and challenge yourself. Fly Fishing 101 : Transcendentalism on the Water: (A required gear list will be provided to students.) “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” Henry David Thoreau walked into the woods of Massachusetts in order to find out more about himself and the world. In this camp, campers will do the same, as they will learn to fly fish! This summer immersive will head into the great outdoors and teach the basics of fly fishing while interspersing the Romantic New England tradition of walking away from the trappings of modern society and going out into the wilds to encounter the intrinsic good and truth that can be found in nature.
