Year 1 – CFP Camp
CFP Coordinators organize bi-communal camps for Middle East teens each summer. Through workshops, discussions and games, the teens learn the importance of citizen peace-building. In the words of one of the campers “We went to the camp as two groups and we returned as one.”
Camp staff consists of CFP alums, CFP parents and friends and CFP Coordinators – all unpaid volunteers.
Year 2 – CFP U.S. Residency Program
The U.S. Residency Program consists of living with American families for 4 weeks, usually in July. The hosting areas vary from year to year. While in the hosting areas, they enjoy social activities and group programs that teach team building, conflict resolution, community service and environmental awareness. Hosting areas may also include U.S. teens and teens from CFP’s Cyprus Friendship Program, providing opportunities to learn from each other.
