Camp Fire USA: Snohomish County Council; Get Ready for Camp

Helping your child get ready for camp - for the first time, or the fifth time, or even the tenth time - is an exciting time for both of you. We have put together a few resources to help you make camp positive and fun for you and your child.

While these resources are filled with great information, please contact us directly if you have questions, comments or concerns. In more than 60 years of Summer Camp, we have never lost focus on giving campers and parents the best possible experience.

Once registered, you will receive a list of items to bring (and not bring) to camp. These items are important, but so is how you present the camp experience to your child.

First time at camp?
We encourage you and your child to visit camp before the summer.
