My time at PFEW was absolutely amazing! Not only did I make a ton of friends but another family was created within my company. PFEW helped me build leadership skills and helped me find my voice. PFEW was the greatest thing that I have ever experienced and I can only hope that more people will try it out and give this program a chance. The experience I got from attending PFEW is one of a kind, it is irreplaceable. More people should know about this program and take a week out of their summer to experience life at PFEW. It brings so many future opportunities for those who attend. I hope future students can learn to love it as much as I did.

I would recommend PFEW to anyone and everyone. This experience is everything I wanted and more. It was amazing. Meeting all of the new people made me appreciate going out of my comfort zone so much more. It also gave me the opportunity to explore some leadership, which I enjoyed. The whole week at PFEW gave me many real-world experiences. I genuinely had so much fun while being educated about all the aspects of business as well. As I said before, I would recommend this experience to absolutely everyone!

My PFEW experience was an amazing opportunity that has helped me grow as a person in many ways. It taught me about the world of professionalism and business and prepared me for what I would have to face once I graduated college. I have found that through the process of working with my company, I have become more confident in my decision-making skills and can complete tasks more efficiently. In addition, the many wonderful speakers that I had the privilege of listening to have taught me so much about different aspects of life. A lot of the things I learned during my week at PFEW resonated with me and still affect how I live and work today. Not only were the amazing opportunities I had during this week very beneficial to me, but I was able to work together with a group of people I had never met before. I learned how coworkers must collaborate to find a sufficient result. I used to struggle with working in groups in my prior school years, but now I find it easier to work with other people, even if we have our differences. PFEW gave me a group of lifelong friends who will always support me. The once-in-a-lifetime experiences you receive during this week are some of the most important things you will need to succeed in the business world, and I am glad to have gotten this opportunity.

In all honesty, PFEW was life changing for me. I was able to feel a true sense of adulthood and how the world of free enterprise functions. The people there, both students and staff have brought the best out of me, and now I feel motivated enough to step out of my comfort zone. PFEW has motivated to evolve into my best self.

It was incredible. PFEW has to be one of the most well run camps I have ever been to and I learned so much from it. It was such an incredible experience that cannot be found anywhere else. I cannot express enough how much of an amazing time I had during my once-in-a-lifetime experience at PFEW.

In one word: unforgettable. The summer of 2023 brought me an incredible experience in the form of PFEW, which I can confidently say was the best thing I did during those months. I only wish it lasted longer. Through this program, I gained invaluable insights into the power of collaboration in building a business and how it can unify a diverse group of individuals. When it was time to bid farewell to PFEW, I was taken aback by the sense of family that had developed, something I hadn't anticipated. This journey taught me not only about the world but also about myself, helping me discover who I was and who I aspired to become. I couldn't be more grateful for the transformational experience, and I hope every high schooler in Pennsylvania gets to experience it too.
