Princeton Friends Summer Camp
will launch its 18th year on June 21st, 2011. Once again we offer campers a summer
full of adventure, creativity, fun, and community, within the peaceful wooded environment of
the Princeton Friends School campus.
PFSC features daily swimming trips to Broadmead Swim Club, arts and crafts,
games of all sorts, music, drama, weekly special events, and time spent every afternoon constructing
stick-and-log “villages” in the woods that surround our camp.
Every week our entire camp takes on a new theme, and around each theme we offer a variety of
activities and events at age-appropriate levels. But the most important thing about PFSC is the
connection to nature that is deeply felt by both our campers and staff.
PFSC is directed by John Zimmerman, who has been with the camp since 1999. Assisting John is
a staff of talented and enthusiastic counselors, many of whom have been at PFSC for several
summers and have been trained in First Aid, CPR, and water-safety skills. Our staff-to-camper
ratio is 1:8.
For more information, please call 609-683-1194 x50 or email us at camp@princetonfriendsschool.org

“Our society is teaching young people to avoid direct experience in nature.
…We can now assume that just as children need good nutrition and adequate sleep,
they... need contact with nature.”
