Every week is an adventure!  No matter a camper’s age or program choice, our staff work with each cabin group to create the session’s activities, making each week unique.

Many campers attend a "general" session, which includes a wide variety of activities around camp.  You may also choose a "specialty" session - click above for details!  Check out a sample daily schedule.

Below are the types of activities and living areas that are typical for campers. We strongly recommend coming to one of our open houses so you and your camper can see and experience camp for yourselves! All sessions offer a general, age-appropriate camp program that includes cookouts, hiking, waterfront activities, singing and crafts. See what other families say about camp, too!

Camp Fire USA also emphasizes healthful living in our programs, encouraging campers to “hold on to health” by getting active, getting healthy and getting involved.

LEADERSHIP Grades 11-12:  Counselor-in-Training (CIT)/Wrangler-in-Training (WIT) This dynamic program prepares high school juniors and seniors to be summer camp staff.  Take part in exciting workshops, shadow staff, work with lots of kids and grow as a camp leader.  Year 1 is a great introduction to how summer camp operates, combined with opportunities to define your own leadership style.  Year 2 has even more hands-on opportunities, including two sessions as a co-counselor or riding staff assistant in your “live-ins.”  Work closely with staff mentors, as you co-lead campers.  Successful completion of the program might lead to a future position on the summer staff.
