What We Do
CAMPFIRE KIDS is a nonprofit organization that creates outdoor learning and adventure experiences for children. Through camping and exploration, we encourage confidence, teamwork, and a love for nature.
Outdoor Learning
Hands-on educational experiences that connect children with the natural world, fostering curiosity and environmental stewardship.
Adventure Programs
Safe, supervised activities that challenge children to step outside their comfort zones and discover their capabilities.
Character Building
Activities designed to develop confidence, leadership skills, and strong relationships with peers and mentors.
Our Mission in Action
"Where adventure sparks growth."
Our mission drives everything we do. We believe that when children step into nature and embrace adventure, they discover strengths they never knew they had. Every camping trip, every trail hike, and every outdoor challenge becomes a catalyst for personal development and lifelong learning.
Through carefully designed programs, we create environments where young people can develop resilience, build friendships, and gain confidence that extends far beyond their outdoor experiences. Our approach combines fun with meaningful learning opportunities that shape character and inspire a lasting love for the natural world.
Program Highlights
Adventure Challenges
Rock climbing, rope courses, and team-building activities that push boundaries while maintaining safety as our top priority.
Campfire Connections
Evening gatherings that build community through storytelling, reflection, and shared experiences under the stars.
Nature Discovery
Hands-on environmental education that teaches children about ecosystems, wildlife, and conservation through direct observation.
Building Tomorrow's Leaders
Confidence Through Challenge
Every outdoor adventure presents opportunities for children to overcome fears, solve problems, and discover their inner strength. Our programs are specifically designed to provide age-appropriate challenges that build confidence gradually and safely.
From conquering a fear of heights on our climbing wall to navigating trail maps during hiking expeditions, children learn that they are capable of more than they imagined. These experiences translate into increased self-confidence in school, social situations, and future challenges.
