â‘¢ FP Leadership Program: July 13-17 ($650) and July 20-24 ($1025)
​
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 our leadership team 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 staff training, mentoring from senior staff, 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.​
