Camps and Trips

Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia Project

The FCC takes 12 seventh grade students to Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia each year during the first week of December. This week-long educational field trip includes 4 days in Williamsburg, visits to Monticello (Jefferson's home) and Mt. Vernon (Washington's home), 2 days in Washington, D.C., and 2 days in Pennsylvania (Gettysburg, Philadelphia and Valley Forge). The students from New York City join nearly 100 other students from around the country to learn of our nation's history. The students, selected from an application process involving academic grades, personal essays, and teacher / principal recommendations, participate in a five-week preparation course in order to maximize the benefit of this once in a lifetime experience.

InterWest Summer Day Camp

Conducted through July and two weeks of August, our summer day camp for children, ages 6 to 10, provides youth with a fun, well-supervised, and affordable summer activity. The camp also has the added benefit of creating summer jobs for youth counselors, ranging in age from 14 to 21. Children are provided breakfast and lunch and participate in a range of activities such as trips to parks, pools, museums, beaches, baseball games and movie theatres.
