ThelifeJennifer LoeberTucked in the mountains of Massachusetts, the Rowe Center sleep-away camp is every teenager's dream. Each summer, the camp enrolls hundreds of campers between 12 and 18 and affords them nearly unlimited freedom.
From the activities they do to whether or not they go to sleep, teenagers are empowered to make their own decisions and exercise their independence. Adult supervision is practically nonexistent.
Photographer Jennifer Loeber attended the camp during her teenage years and recently went back to document the camp and the many characters who attend. The resulting project is called "Cruel Story of Youth," which she says refers to the world that the campers must return to after leaving the camp.
Loeber shared a number of photos with us here, but you can check out the rest at her website and follow her on Instagram.
