ENROLL- What is Fall FNOO?
Fall FNOO is a reunion weekend at Robin Hood for incoming 2026 Shires/Scribes and Foresters/Saxons, as well as next years First Year Aids (current 9th, 10th and 11th graders) geared towards fun, friendship and the Needs of Others.
Space is limited to the first 40 kids.
FNOO (For the Needs of Others) teaches campers about community service and making a difference in society on issues of importance to them.
Many young people today are well aware of and passionate about social issues affecting our society, yet feel disempowered without training or support in what to do about them. This program will help campers who care to turn their compassion into action to make a difference in a way that empowers and inspires them. It will also be fun!
- What are the dates and times?
-
Friday October 24th starting at Noon, ending Sunday October 26th at Noon.
- How should we arrive/depart?
-
Parents can either drop-off/pick up from Camp. Or, you can arrange flights in/out of Boston or Portland. If flying, we will transport kids to camp. Please make sure they arrive by plane by Noon on Friday and depart on flights after 2PM on Sunday.
- What are the activities?
We will reunite, reconnect and enjoy being together with our closest friends in our favorite place! You’ll be amazed about how gorgeous Camp is in the Fall with the leaves changing colors.
Camp and many of our activities will be open for play and fun. As the oldest kids / youngest counselors in camp next summer, we are looking at you as the leaders of Camp. Because of this, we will also spend some time each day working on Project FNOO. We will refresh some of the FNOO learning from the summer, talk about issues that are important to us, and as a group, help plan for FNOO at camp in 2026. Don’t worry, we will find the perfect balance between Camp Robion Hood fun and delving deeper into FNOO.
We also have some fun tricks up our sleeves to make Fall FNOO one of the most memorable and meaningful weekends of the year.
- How about the Food?
Yensi will be there and promises banquet food even better than camp food! We’ll get Pizza Barn too!
- Late October could be cold! Where will we sleep?
Don’t worry, we have enough heated bunks for everyone! We will supply sheets, blankets and towels too.
- Are cell phones allowed?
You can bring your phone, but we will only use them for FNOO related activities and research as instructed.
- Can the time count against my volunteer hours?
Yes! Please 100% confirm with your school or organization, but we will be happy to write you a letter saying you spent volunteer hours working on Project FNOO.
- Can I put this on my resume for college?
You bet! You will be able to say you attended “Camp Robin Hood’s Fall Service Leadership Weekend”. Not only that, but we think this will be the start of a bigger story you’ll be able to tell to differentiate yourself for college admissions. But ultimately, that will come down to you, the issue you care most about and the actions you take. We are excited to help you on this journey and hope you will also sign up for Year Round FNOO!
