FIELDSTON
FUTURE LEADERS
Our mission
Fieldston Future Leaders (FFL) is a summer STEAM program for children ages 4-14 aimed at igniting a sense of discovery and wonder through exploration. Our mission is to allow campers to choose their own summer adventures by engaging in the variety of activities offered across our six-week program. In FFL, your children are in the driver’s seat as they let their interests and curiosities lead them. At FFL, the adults create STEAM activities and experiences that are experiential, process-focused, and solutions-oriented, then move into the role of facilitator as your children play, discover, learn, and create.
New this year, FFL features recreational sports options such as soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and flag football. Campers can customize their schedules, balancing sports, arts, and STEM to match their unique passions. At FFL, every child charts their own path with encouragement and guidance every step of the way.
