Camp FCC: Switzerland
August 2-6: Switzerland: Alpine Expedition
Our Mission: We’re escaping the heat of the summer to the cool air of the Swiss Alps. It is here that our mission takes us to newer and greater heights. We’ll travel the countryside; learn more about the culture and gear up to climb the legendary Matterhorn. So grab your rope, put on your boots, and we’ll see you on top!
