OPPORTUNITY

These opportunities are best provided by people who know and serve their community's children. Camp Fire council staff and volunteers follow nationally established standards, philosophy and purpose in presenting all or some of Camp Fire's core programs. Councils also can offer specialized programming to meet identified community needs.

CO-EDUCATION

Founded for girls in 1910, Camp Fire Boys and Girls has a rich history that is strong on tradition, but continuously evolves to meet the changing needs of children and youth. Camp Fire embraces diversity and the inclusiveness and has been co-educational for more than 20 years. Through health and safety classes, volunteer service, backpacking, swimming and more, boys and girls learn to work and play together and to appreciate their similarities and differences.

SUPPORT

Today's young people face different challenges than in the past. But one thing that remains constant is the need for community support. Camp Fire relies on corporations and other community organizations for donations of time talent and financial support that will bring unique, successful programs to children.
