â‘¢ FP Leadership Program: July 14-18 ($625) and July 21-25 ($975)
​
Available to former campers going into 8th grade (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!
