Youth at-risk, children with special needs, and families who need financial assistance find enriching experiences through Camp Fire’s specialized programs. Camp Fire works to realize the dignity and worth of each individual and to eliminate human barriers based on all assumptions that prejudge individuals. Designed and implemented to reduce sexual, racial, religious, and cultural stereotypes and to foster positive intercultural relationships, in Camp Fire, everyone is welcome.

Camp Fire Learn and Experience the Outdoors (LEO)
LEO is an outdoor day camp experience offered, during the school year, that provides the opportunity for youth to learn and experience different aspects of their environment in a way that engages them in hands-on activities, encourages problem solving, and offers STEM based activities. Held outside in our five-acre camp, your child will explore the environment based on a weekly theme. After their school day has ended, the two-hour program will start with traditional camp songs socially distanced and masked at the flag pole, before branching off in cohorts to start on the day’s nature activity, and low ropes challenge course/physical activity.
