Growing up is hard. That’s why Camp Fire connects young people to the outdoors, to others, and to themselves.
Camp Fire has been an innovative leader in youth development since 1917.
Kids & teens learn how to succeed NOW, through:
Thrive{ology}
Discover sparks, gain self-confidence, and learn life-changing life skills to thrive now. Thrive{ology} is our research-based program framework founded on the pillars of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), and it works.
Inclusion & Diversity
Camp Fire believes in the dignity and the intrinsic worth of every human being. We welcome, affirm, and support young people and adults of all abilities and disabilities, experiences, races, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, religion and non-religion, citizenship and immigration status, and any other category people use to define themselves or others. We strive to create safe and inclusive environments that celebrate diversity and foster positive relationships.
Trained, Caring Staff
Supportive mentors and adult champions are key. We call our highly trained staff “Spark Champions,” because they are experts at what they do and know how to guide youth on their journey to thriving.
