Camp Fire Central Purgent Sound
About
Camp Fire Central Puget Sound ignites a passion for nature, a commitment to service and a drive to succeed in 10,000 children and teens every year. Since 1915, kids have relied on Camp Fire for fun and educational experiences that develop their confidence, academic success, leadership and social skills.
For many kids with special needs, there are few summer camp options available. Some kids lack the independence needed to succeed in a traditional camp setting. It can also be hard to find special needs camps that offer just the right amount of support for kids whose abilities and needs fall on a wider spectrum.
Camp Fire was awarded a grant from Seattle Parks and Recreation’s 2013 Hope for Youth Grant Program. This grant will help to scholarship teens from undeserved Seattle communities to enroll in Camp Fire’s Junior Staff Thrive Leadership Training Program.
