Camp Fire Gulf Wind, Inc.

OUR WHY (Camp Fire exists and is relevant today because...) 

It’s hard growing up today. 

OUR MISSION 

In a world where so many feel disconnected, Camp Fire connects young people to themselves, to others, and to the outdoors. 

OUR VISION  

You belong here. We envision a world where all young people thrive, experience authentic connection, and have new opportunities through: 

• Self-discovery: All young people find their spark, lift their voice, and discover who they are;   
• Community-discovery: all young people find, build, and contribute to their community; they develop meaningful relationships with supportive adults and peers; they feel seen, heard, accepted, supported, and affirmed for who they are today, and who they will be in the future;  
• Nature-discovery: All young people experience the power and awe of the outdoors; they learn to respect, love, and care for our world.  

HOW WE DO IT 

Camp Fire creates safe, inclusive spaces where young people can have fun and be themselves. We do this in a variety of programs (camps, afterschool, in-school, and virtual), customized to meet the needs of youth, their families, and their local community. But the common thread woven through all our programs is a commitment to helping young people navigate and find respite from the challenges of growing up in today's world.
