    About Camp Fire: 
    YOUTH-CENTERED PROGRAMMING:
    • Builds strong and genuine relationships with children, families, and school staff. We offer children a sense of belonging in a safe, engaging, and educational environment.
    • Provides daily after school homework time to give children an opportunity to work with staff and their peers to strengthen their academic skills.
    • Programming is intentional and outcome-based, and developed with the needs and interests of youth in mind.
    • Encourages children to develop and facilitate service-learning projects that help connect them to their communities.
     
    • Offers diverse curriculum to inspire children to “Find their Spark”, teaching them to be curious, engaged, and learning.
    • Develops children’s leadership skills through youth-led clubs, allowing them to practice leading their peers and writing their own curriculum.
    SUPPORT FOR CAMP FIRE FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY:
     
    • We are responsive to the communities we serve and make thoughtful and intentional adjustments to our programs as needed.
    • We are an Employment Related Day Care support (ERDC) approved provider and offer financial aid for low-income families.
    • We invest in outstanding staff who far surpass the state training standards. Training topics covered include Positive
