At Camp Fire Columbia we envision a world where we all are valued, belong and thrive so we can find and nurture our spark. 

 

What is a spark you ask?  Hear directly from our staff and board:

The short answer is that your spark is that one, or many things that give you hope, inspire you to be in this world, that helps you find joy, purpose, and life.  We believe that helping each of us find and nurture our spark is the most important work we can do.  Join us!
