Sadie Stehlik
Farm Director Since 2016

Sadie grew up in Minneapolis and attended a Montessori school that owned a large organic farm in Wisconsin. The seeds of her love of farming were sown at this 'land school' through many trips during her elementary years, and a summer during college when she worked on the farm's CSA. She graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts with a concentration in creative writing and organic agriculture. During her college years, she worked on farms in California, Alaska, Wisconsin, and Ireland, and wrote about those communities.
She spent a year at the John C. Campbell Folk School in the mountains of North Carolina. While working in the gardens, she also took classes in blacksmithing, using natural dyes, spinning, weaving, quilting, folk dancing, wood-working, and cheese-making. She loves to make music, grow food, and laugh.
Sadie comes to us most recently from the Orchard Hill community where she grew an acre of vegetables, co-managed a pastured meat CSA, and worked at the Breadworks wood-fired baking operation. Sadie is thrilled to bring her skills and excitement to the farm at Camp Glen Brook.

Taylor Westbrook
Culinary Director Since 2017

Taylor studied Tourism at Arizona State University. Upon graduating he focused his interests towards cooking, travel, and community. Over the past four years he has traveled the U.S and the globe cooking at eco-retreat centers, farm-to-table kitchens, and off-the grid sites. In 2016, he completed a certificate program at Cook Street Culinary School in Denver, Colorado. He’s inspired by being closer to the source of food and connecting the farm to the fork. His travels have taken him to Northern California at a Eco-retreat farm cooking for an array of nature lovers and food enthusiasts. He has volunteered his hands on an off-grid permaculture farm and a kitchen in Costa Rica. He recently volunteered at Standing Rocks Rosebud camp. Last year he was at Mayfair Farms, a local farm-to-table initiative in Harrisville, NH. 

Food has been a compass for Taylor, navigating him into lush gardens, like minded communities, and a closer connection with nature. Taylor feels cooking is the best way he can be of service and it’s his gift that he loves to offer to the global tribe.

Keith Worthy
Head Counselor & Administrative Staff Since 1982

Keith has passed his 25th summer at Glen Brook, so we’re starting to think he likes it here. The rest of the year Keith works in the Springfield Public School District where he’s been since 1984. He first served as a counselor for students with behavioral and academic issues, then since 2006 as Assistant Principal for Springfield Central High School (the Washington Post has named his school in the top 5% of public schools in the country.) While Keith loves his work during the year, he always looks forward to his time at Glen Brook each summer-- he started coming to Glen Brook as a student of the Waldorf School of Garden City. We always love to have Keith’s enthusiasm for games played with good sportsmanship, and his genuine enthusiasm for everything that happens at Camp. Keith is joined by his son, Matthew, at Camp each summer, and his two older children attended the Camp for years, as well.
