Funding Campers in Need through Clean Energy
We are pleased to share our plans to build a field of solar panels that will produce the amount of electricity Glen Brook uses each year. Here are four reasons we are so excited about this project!

Sustainability: The solar field will lower our carbon footprint by more than 100,000 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. Glen Brook won’t just be carbon neutral, but with the preservation of our forest and work on our biodynamic farm, Glen Brook will be carbon negative, helping to heal the planet.

Accessibility: We are excited to share that we are going to take the $20,000 of savings that these solar panels generate every year and invest that money into our campership fund. We are going to use sustainability as a tool for accessibility so that campers in need have more access to Glen Brook in perpetuity.

Education: We want to model sustainability in every form. These solar panels will provide an amazing educational resource, and show people a great way of producing clean energy that will power our campus, and eventually our vehicles.

Regeneration: At Glen Brook we produce so much of what we use here to model a regenerative relationship with Earth. We harvest our own food from our farm. We harvest our own lumber from our forest. And now we’ll be producing our own energy with solar panels.
