Camp Fire USA builds caring, confident youth and future leaders.

Camp Fire USA - Samish Council youth programs offer rich development opportunities for children and families as they engage in all-inclusive, coeducational activities designed to develop self-esteem, decision-making skills, responsibility to self and community and outdoor skills. And to have fun!

Traditional Camp Fire Clubs consist of 8-10 youth with two adult leaders who meet regularly throughout the school year. Activities include learning about self, family and community, exploring nature, camping, community service projects, and arts and crafts.

Community and Family Clubs - Community Clubs such as " Outdoor Discovery" offer quality coeducational youth development programs for larger groups of children and are typically led by several adult and teen volunteers. Family Clubs also utilize the Camp Fire USA curriculum but the concept involves the entire family in Camp Fire USA’s small group, asset-building activities and experiences.

Teens In Action, a teen service-learning program, is based on the idea that teens are the key to the future and are making a difference in communities nationwide. Teens in Action empowers teens to speak out and stand up in their communities.

Self Reliance courses teach self-confidence and responsibility. Exciting programs teach young people how to handle threats to their safety and security, take care of themselves in different situations, and provide service to their communities

Outdoor Programs include Day Camps in both Whatcom and Skagit counties, Resident Camp at Camp Kirby on Samish Island, Environmental Programs and more.
