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 2014
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

about his day. He seemed to have
fun every day and there were
many activities for him to do.
Hardly any downtime which is
nice. He also made some
new friends.
My son is happy when I pick

makes it worthwhile having
him go to camp.

canoeing and many other exciting adventures! Campers will begin the week
experiencing a trip to The Edge, Freedom Center’s team and organizational
learning facility. Campers need to bring lunch, snacks, a water bottle, and
sunscreen each day. Please wear close-toed shoes and appropriate clothing.
All trip fees are included in camp price.
Leading EDGE Camp (Ages 11-15)
Week 1 or 4 9:00 am – 4:30 pm
$270
Climb, swing, and leap to new heights this spring at The EDGE. As you and fellow adventurers
tackle all the challenges the course has to offer, you’ll form friendships, grow as leaders,
develop outdoor recreation skills, and have tons of fun. Campers may balance the tilting Whale
Watch, navigate the Blind Maze, climb the Alpine Tower, swing the Giant Swing, and leap off the
Pamper Pole. As individuals you can push to your best limits, and as a group you can build a
terrific team to overcome all the obstacles thrown your way. Throughout the week, everyone will
have chance to contribute to a community-oriented team service project, and toward the end of
camp we’ll enjoy an action-packed day up on the Total Team Challenge. The types of activities
and time on them may vary according to the weather, although except in cases of extreme
weather, campers should bring closed-toed/closed-heeled shoes, a lunch, snacks, a water
bottle, swimwear, and sunscreen each day. I love the way the counselors
participate with the kids
instead of just “watching
them play.” They really
enjoy their jobs and it shows.
Awesome organization too!!
