At FCSEC, we believe that a healthy self-concept is essential for fully developing one's talents and skills. The daily academic program is balanced with a variety of social and recreational activities designed to promote personal growth, team-building and an appreciation of individual differences and abilities. The camp motto is reinforced daily in a variety of ways as campers are encouraged to approach new learning situations with an "I CAN DO IT" attitude.
Located 35 miles south of Roanoke, Virginia, Ferrum College provides a relaxed, informal atmosphere with the conveniences and security of a small campus. Residence halls, classrooms, dining hall and sports facilities are located within easy walking distance. Counselors are assigned to each group of 8-10 campers and provide supervision at all times. Campers and staff are housed in air-conditioned Bassett Hall, in suites with private baths; males and females on separate floors.
