Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Camp Fire USA is this community's first choice for building caring, confident youth and future leaders. We provide every youth an opportunity to build key assets, experience success, care for our environment, and have fun.
Programs: Camping - summer - 5,208 youth participated in camping experiences at camp sealth and camp niwana. The 5-10 day resident summer camp sessions hosted at camp sealth allow campers to participate in diverse outdoor activities. Special interest programs are offered for children with special needs. Camp niwana offeres day and overnight camping experiences.
day camp - 1,803 individuals participated in low-cost, camp-type activities designed to help youth build skills and self esteem at 10 outdoor park sites throughout king & kitsap counties. Specialized fieldtrips focusing on the environment and wildlife protection are also offered.
group programs - 419 youth and 171 adults participated in camp fire's signature group programs. Small groups led by trained adult volunteer teams meet regularly in schools and neighborhoods to help youth develop friendships, have fun, and learn new skills.
education & outreach - new for 2014, these programs focused on families and teens. A total of 199 youth and 245 adults participated in these programs. In the teen programs youth practice being responsible citizens through participation in community service projects. They also learn and implement important team-building skills such as planning and decision-making. Our community family clubs are led by camp fire personnel to do activities and learn important skills as a family unit.
