Camp Fire creates powerful youth experiences to
develop essential skills & mindsets that have long-term benefits and make a
positive societal impact. Diverse, equitable and inclusive environments to
learn about community and outdoors through club programming, after-school
programming, outdoor education and resident camp experiences.
The Club Program has a focus on the growth and development of your children. Camp Fire youth and
their families have an opportunity to explore the world, be creative, plan,
participate and reflect upon community service and gain a sense of
belonging. Camp Fire Clubs are small groups of youth led by trained adult
volunteers. Most Clubs meet weekly for 1 – 1.5 hours at school, in a Leader’s
home or other community sites. Clubs are open to all children Preschool
through High School. Projects follow the five Camp Fire Trails:
Trail to Knowing Me – Children learn relationship and communication skills.
Trail to Family & Community – Strengthens child’s place in the family and community with a focus on leadership, service-learning and citizenship.
Trail to Creativity – Stimulates creativity and imagination through visual and performing arts and creative writing.
Trail to the Environment – Helps youth understand and appreciate the natural world thru activities in nature, environmental awareness and geography.
Trail to the Future – Contains activities that develop mental and physical skills, such as sports, science and cooking.
Teens in
Action is a leadership and
community service club for older kids in grades 6-12th. The time together
is spent planning and doing service projects in their communities as well as at
Camp Fire events. The youth can use this time spent to fulfill required
community service hours for their school.
The Mega Club Program consists of multi-age youth
in one Camp Fire Club. They meet in apartment complexes or other neighborhood
community center. Currently there are six clubs in Snohomish County. These clubs
have paid leaders and are in partnership with community organizations. The
goals of the program is to establish and develop Camp Fire clubs and programs
for low-income, minority, and at-risk children; and to provide family strengthening
activities.
Self-Reliance Programs target specific skills to help children learn to take care of themselves in
specific situations and develop a balance of skills. The curriculum is
thoroughly developed and comprehensive in scope; learning is not left to
chance. All instructors are trained and present the materials in a fun, active
manner which helps to keep interest levels high and enables youth to practice
their newfound skills in a non-threatening environment. Courses are primarily
held in schools or through Parks and Recreation Departments.
The After School Program is offered for K-5th graders in the Lakewood School District. Each day after school, students receive
a nutritious snack, play outside, work on homework or reading, as well as
participate in various activities. On half days, school days off, in-service
days or spring break, the After School Program is held at Camp Killoqua.
Resident and Day Camps at Camp Killoqua offer an age-appropriate camp program that includes cookouts,
hiking, waterfront activities, singing and crafts. Camp Fire also emphasizes
healthful living in our programs, encouraging campers to “hold onto health” by
getting active, getting healthy and getting involved.
