Princeton Friends School

Princeton Friends Summer Camp (PFSC) is a memorable summer experience grounded in Quaker tradition and set within the bucolic campus and surrounding woods of Princeton Friends School. Campers are offered days filled with adventure, creativity, and fun framed by the Quaker testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship. PFSC features weekly themes and plot lines, daily swimming, games of all sorts, hikes along the Institute trails, arts and crafts, music, drama, and time spent in our shady woods constructing stick-and-log “villages.” Our vision is for campers to engage with one another in ways that feel authentically connected to the “classic camp” experience from summers gone by.

For those who seek something beyond or in addition to the classic camp experience, we offer three specialty camps: Art, Drama, and Kungaloosh Camp - RPGs or other role-playing activities!
