Our Activities
Campers get to choose from over 30 different activities during their session and receive their own individual schedule...
- Campers will rank their top twelve (12) activity preferences before they arrive using an online form emailed to their parents in the two weeks before their arrival at camp.
- FPC will create an individual schedule for each camper, comprised of eight (8) activity periods.
- There are four (4) activity periods each day. We alternate activity schedules every other day.
Pay close attention to the descriptions under each activity to see if that activity has any restrictions...
- Most activity periods last for one hour, but some last for two hours (and take up two available periods in a camper's schedule).
- The majority of our activities are for all ages, but some have age restrictions. Some activities are offered to campers age 6-9 years old, while others are available only to campers aged 10+.
- Most of our activities can be signed up for by both two- and one-week campers, but some activities don't work well with the shorter schedule of a one-week session and are thus only availble to two-week campers.
- Adventure Camp has a slightly different schedule & offered activities. The descriptions listed below are applicable to our one- and two-week sessions in June & July
