Welcome to our Camp Fire Columbia news & updates page. This is a space for our team to share updates about programs, events, and the state of the organization. Keeping our community informed is one of the ongoing ways we build lasting, equitable and caring relationships with others. 

From its founding, Camp Fire has walked the talk of youth leadership. We were among the first organizations in the country to allow young people to serve on our board of directors, and continue that legacy of youth leadership today.

Camp Fire Columbia doesn’t just serve young people—we learn from them. Youth play a critical role in shaping our programs, developing strategy, and measuring impact.
