Giving to Greenwood

Dig Greenwood’s Well

The Massachusetts DEP is requiring Greenwood to dig a new well. While our current wells are plentiful and safe, they are old. Without a new well, the MassDEP will not allow us to run the camp in 2026.

Greenwood’s property has been surveyed and an appropriate spot has been located in the Lower Field (this cannot be seen from the Greenwood wall). The digging is scheduled to begin after the close of Junior Camp 2025.

This is the kind of project whose results are neither audible, as in a new piano, nor visible, as in a new cabin. Our gratitude is therefore even greater than usual.

Thank you for your support!

Water Music Poem

a single well costs 100,000

thus far we’ve raised 20,000

the time is nigh to add some zeros

every little bit given is heroic 

and so now unlike most concert decorum 

I beseech you take out turn on brighten 

all your devices scan the code let’s go 

this well won’t dig itself it needs the gusto

of this community for in these times

there is little that matters more than to find 

—I’ll say it again—community—to carry 

on the spirit of this ancient unwieldy 

location for another 93 

years of music making I entreat 

you, quench the thirst please consider a donation 

we thank you for your contribution!
