The Freedom
Summer Camp Crew
Our staff is committed to providing your camper a safe environment, caring and
experienced camp counselors, and fun-filled dynamic days. The summer of 2015
will kick off our fourteenth summer camp season! Our site is licensed by the
Commonwealth of Virginia as Child Day Center, and we are proud to say that our
program exceeds many of their established standards.
We hire those with a passion to PLAY! Each counselor on FAFC’s summer camp staff
is a well-trained, enthusiastic and motivating individual over the age of 18. Several
summer counselors have been with us for one or more seasons and may have even
been a previous camper!
Each staff member has been screened through an interview process, received back
ground checks and references verified to ensure the safety of your camper. Camp
counselors are required to attend an orientation and training prior to the first day of
camp. Throughout the training, counselors participate in child development workshops,
team building activities, earn a certification in First Aid, CPR and Blood Borne Pathogen
and several other exciting and beneficial activities to ensure a successful and safe
camp season. Training also offers counselors time to plan programs, work to build
a positive group atmosphere and requires staff to embark on finding solutions to
challenging situations that may occur throughout the summer and preventative tools to
work towards an anti-bullying environment.
“I loved the aspect of team bonding and
collaboration with your co-workers. Most companies
might not make it an emphasis to promote co-worker
relationships but getting along with and working well
with your co-workers is an important aspect of any job
but especially in this setting. The two weeks of training
gave us a great opportunity to do that and I ran into
virtually no conflict with other employees,”
Freedom Center Camp Counselor.

of engineering, which includes civil, marine, electrical, and aerospace, among others.
Through hands-on activities and exploration, students enjoy building and testing the best
from the world of engineering through activities that are hand-picked by our experts!

The City camp is an amazing camp using LEGO® WeDO kits, where children will learn
to create various machines such as elevators, helicopters, crane among many others
and learn about the functioning of each of these models. After they build these modern
machines, children will then program them to carry out their roles.

What’s more fun than playing an interactive video game? Writing one! Video sensing
allows students to design and program their own video games and then test them
by interacting with the program via webcam. In this Scratch program, students work
together to create their own games, art, and musical instruments while exploring coding
foundations. Get up and get moving with Engineering for Kids and Scratch: Video Sensing!

During the Aerospace Engineering camp, students use
the Engineering Design Process to design, create, test,
and refine a variety of flying machines. They construct
a shock absorbing system designed to protect two
marshmallow astronauts in a lunar vehicle, create
their own air-powered rockets, and assemble a hot air
balloon model that actually takes flight!
The instructor was absolutely fantastic. He was
great with the kids and the instruction was all
age appropriate. He did a great job of giving each
kid individual attention without letting the
others get bored or out of control. It was just the
kind of class we were looking for!
