â‘¢FP Leadership Program: July 10-14 ($525) and July 17-21 ($675)
​
Available to incoming 8th graders (and beyond!), who have previously participated in
an FP program, the FP Leadership Program gives your child the opportunity to
transition from camper to counselor. They will work as part of a group to design and
deliver unique and inspiring camp experiences. These young adults get to participate
in our summer camps while also taking on the roles and responsibilities of a junior
counselor. The program includes mentoring, opportunities for reflection and growth,
and a focus on developing your individual leadership style. Come Join Our Team!
All FP Summer Campers practice these 5 skills essential to becoming mindful change makers:
1. Shift Perspective: See challenges as learning opportunities.
2. Find Teachable Moments: Sometimes you are the learner, sometimes you are the teacher.
3. Connect Positively with the World: Be in the moment and enjoy what the world has to offer.
4. Connect Positively with Yourself and Others: Be proud of what makes you unique and find positive connection with others.
5. Celebrate: Capture the moment and take time enjoy your successes.​
