Letter From The Director of Auxiliary Programs
As a former Friends’ Central School (FCS) camp counselor and the parent of a former FCS camper, I have experienced the impact that our summer programs have on enriching the summer experience for your children and would like to take this moment to thank you for choosing Friends’ Central as a trusted partner in providing lifelong memories.
Friends’ Central’s summer programs are an extension of the school which is recognized for its friendly, welcoming atmosphere and the positive interactions between children and adults.These characteristics, as well as fair play, acceptance, and respect for the individual, are emphasized in our summer programs. All summer employees are oriented and guided in following the Quaker practices for which the school is known.
We are proud to not only have excellent camp staff and stimulating programming but also exceptional facilities where campers can spend the day exploring their imagination and just have fun.
Friends’ Central summer programs have a long tradition of providing a welcoming community where families come back year after year. Thank you for entrusting your children with FCS.
Warm regards,
Rick Moses
