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. Projects follow the five Camp Fire Trails. Camp Fire Clubs are small groups of youth led by trained adult volunteers. Clubs meet according to the needs and desires of the families involved. Clubs are open to all children Preschool through High School.

Camp Fire Club Programs have 4 important qualities:
