ALL YOUTH DESERVE TO
belong & thrive
CAMP FIRE’S DEFINITION OF THRIVING
Connection
When young people are thriving, they are connected to others, to nature, and to themselves with a loving awareness of their identities, dreams, passions, and needs.
A place to simply be
For young people in particular, finding a place where they can simply be —where they can exist fully— can be very difficult, especially when who they are is challenged by society.
Whole self
They are invited to imagine their whole selves and to learn, grow, and achieve in a self-determined, purpose-driven way.
Relationships & Support
That’s why Camp Fire designs identity-affirming, accessible environments in which youth can experience the relationships, fun, inspiration, acceptance, safety, and support they need in order to thrive.
INCLUSION IS ESSENTIAL TO
Thriving
Camp Fire takes pride in our long-standing commitment to inclusivity and diversity.
The Camp Fire organization was the first multiracial, multicultural, and nonsectarian organization for girls in America when we began in 1910. Today, we strive to continue in that spirit and welcome everyone to Camp Fire.
CAMP FIRE’S STATEMENT OF INCLUSION​
Camp Fire believes in the dignity and the intrinsic worth of every human being. We welcome, affirm, and support young people and adults of all abilities and disabilities, experiences, races, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, religion and non-religion, citizenship and immigration status, and any other category people use to define themselves or others. We strive to create safe and inclusive environments that celebrate diversity and foster positive relationships.​
