Ages 7-12

Any child who is a rising 2nd through 7th grader is eligible for Trailblazer Camp.

Trailblazer Camp is designed to accommodate the special interests of children between the ages of 7 and 12. Campers begin each day with 5-6 periods of activities with their group. Some of these activities include instructional swimming (matches FCA curriculum), computer, tennis, archery, art, drama, crafts, and sports. Older campers are invited to select an afternoon Pathfinder specialty activity in which to participate (Pathfinders will be updated in the Spring). Campers ages 7 to 10 are placed in coed groups according to age; while 11 and 12 year olds are grouped by single gender. All campers are supervised by head and assistant counselors.

Special Days With Friends

The excitement of FCS Summer Camp culminates in “Fun With Friends,” a celebration of weekly special events. Campers work with counselors in a cooperative manner, creating their own experiences. Highlights include the Fourth of July Celebration, Olympic Day, Carnival Day, Showtime and the Trailblazer 500.
