Due to safety issues surrounding the current outbreak of COVID-19, all FP Summer Camps have been cancelled for the 2020 season.  This decision was driven by our commitment to the safety of our communities.  We hope that everyone can find time this summer to build a little FP into their lives, and that we will be back together again soon, sharing our souvenir stories.  

 

The adventure continues, Hiroshi and Erin
