Camp Fire USA

Formerly Camp Fire Boys and Girls, "Camp Fire USA" is the new identity of one of the nation's premier youth development organization. Even though the name is new, the purpose of the organization remains the same: to serve children.

As a not-for-profit, youth development organization, Camp Fire provides programs that include mentoring opportunities through clubs, environmental education through camping, and direct child-care services. Other innovative activities include an in-school service-learning curriculum and programs designed specifically for urban youth and for teen-agers.
