Camp Fire USA offers quality programs reflective of best practices in the following four Core Program Areas because…

Camp Fire Cares
We provide a variety of programs across the country to deliver quality care for children during out- of-school-time hours. Children participate in indoor and outdoor age-appropriate small group activities where they can explore personal interests, learn to make healthy choices, develop social skills, and have fun.

Camp Fire Camps
We provide outdoor opportunities for children and youth to learn, explore, and play together, while developing a lasting appreciation for the environment. Camp Fire provides day and overnight camps, trip and travel programs, and adventure challenge and environmental education sessions.

Camp Fire Contributes
We contribute to the community by helping youth build life skills through relevant educational, enrichment, and service-learning programs. Camp Fire provides interactive courses and short-term programs in areas such as self-reliance, peer pressure, healthy living, financial literacy, civic engagement, and job training.

Camp Fire Connects
We connect children with caring, trained adults in an intimate group atmosphere. We also connect families. Camp Fire does this by offering age appropriate youth, teen, and family clubs. Using outcome rich curriculum, groups choose from a variety of fun and educational activities and projects.
