Community Service

A spirit of service permeates the school community, and we seek to foster this spirit, first within the school and then in a commitment to the wider society outside our doors.

Brantwood Camp

This residential summer camp for boys and girls, located in Peterborough, New Hampshire, has been a special place of St. Mark’s summer service since 1920. Brantwood provides educational and recreational programs for inner–city children. Students who are 16 years of age or older may serve as “shackies,” counselors responsible for a cabin of campers during one to three two–week sessions. Many students who have served at Brantwood over the years cite this experience as one of the most significant and formative of their time at St. Mark’s. More information and applications are available online at www.brantwoodcamp.org.

Boys and Girls Club

Students may go into nearby Marlborough once or twice a week in the afternoon to provide tutoring and to play with younger children through an after–school care program.

Our Father’s Table

A small team of students help at a local soup kitchen twice a week.
