​
Available to incoming 8th graders (and beyond!), 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.​
