In today’s challenging political climate, community support is more important than ever, especially for young people. Camp Fire provides a safe and nurturing environment where youth can find stability, mentorship, and emotional support. Through our programs, young people learn resilience and build the skills needed to navigate uncertainty, while creating lifelong connections within a caring community.
Community involvement is vital for personal well-being and growth, and Camp Fire has been fostering these connections for over 100 years. We’ve built a strong community where youth and families come together to connect with each other and with nature. These in-person interactions are essential for developing meaningful relationships and promoting mental and emotional health, things that virtual spaces can’t fully replicate.
Our success depends on the dedication of adult volunteers who give their time and energy to support our programs. We need volunteers to help with service weekends at Camp Sealth, assist with our day camps and summer camp, and lead activities that inspire our youth. The mentorship of caring adults has always been at the heart of our mission, guiding young people on their journeys of self-discovery and empowerment.
Being part of the Camp Fire community also enriches one’s cultural and social understanding, as engaging with diverse groups fosters empathy and broadens perspectives. By supporting Camp Fire, you are not only improving your own life but strengthening the impact of our community in shaping informed, compassionate, and resilient leaders for tomorrow. Your involvement makes a lasting difference!
We hope to see you at some events this year.
