Camp Fire's Promise to Children

“Young people want to shape the world. Camp Fire provides the opportunity to find their spark, lift their voice, and

discover who they are. In Camp Fire, it begins now.

Light the fire within.”

Camp Fire would not be possible without our community partners and donors - thank you for helping us keep our promise to children!
