Camp Fire creates safe spaces where young people can have fun and be themselves.
We do this through a variety of powerful youth experiences and programs customized to meet the needs of youth, their families, and their local community.
The common thread woven through all our programs is relationships.
This is how we support young people as they navigate the challenges of growing up in the world today and learn the life skills they need to thrive.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where all young people thrive and have equitable opportunities for:
Self-Discovery: All young people find their spark, lift their voice, and discover who they are;
Community Connection: All young people find, build, and contribute to their community; they develop meaningful relationships with supportive adults and peers; they feel seen, heard, accepted, supported, and affirmed for who they are today, and who they will be in the future;
Engagement with Nature: All young people experience the power and awe of the outdoors; they learn to respect, love, and care for our world.
