Camp Fire USA Clubs - not the old Camp Fire Girls!

[Anonymous]

Looking for an inclusive, youth program for your elementary-aged kids that does all those fun things while earning emblems? Consider joining a Camp Fire USA family club. We are inviting families to come learn more about Camp Fire's mission to help youth ignite the spark of fun, friendship and service!

There are clubs in Takoma Park-Silver Spring, Bethesda-DC, Silver Spring-Rockville, Germantown, Bowie, Greenbelt and others. Middle school and teen programs available.

Camp Fire background:
Camp Fire was founded in 1910 as the Camp Fire Girls, and has included boys since 1975. Camp Fire is fully inclusive in its membership and does not discriminate based on race, religious belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, or other aspect of diversity.

Camp Fire in Maryland serves children and youth ages 3 to 22. http://www.campfireusa-patuxent.org
