Camp Fire Inland Northwest

Camp Fire helps youth dig deep inside and discover their “sparks,” their personally defined nuggets of potential.

Helping a young person become who they want to be takes time and encouragement. It takes paying attention to what sparks a passion. At Camp Fire, that’s what we do. We listen, we encourage, and we provide the opportunity to uncover each young person’s unique interests. We help youth become the exceptional people they are destined to be, buoyant with potential to do anything they dream of doing.

• Camp Fire is led by professional, caring adults using proven methods. Leaders are highly trained role models, who encourage young people to be all they can be.

• Camp Fire is open to everyone. We embrace the uniqueness of every youth, teen, and family we serve.

• Camp Fire is participant-centered—identifying passions and sparks. Youth are actively engaged and are given a voice, which helps build self-esteem and self-reliance.

• Camp Fire helps develop abilities now. We provide a strong foundation for kids so that they prepare for the present and the future.

We provide experiences through summer resident and day camp, after school club program and service learning.  We believe that small groups in a safe, fun environment are the best way to help kids to realize their potential.  Leadership, outdoor experiences, environmental awareness, friendship and fun play a big part in what it means to be in Camp Fire.

Founded in 1914, programs of Camp Fire Inland Northwest include youth leadership, after school groups, camping and environmental education. We build more than campfires. 2014 will mark the 100 year anniversary of Camp Fire Inland Northwest.

Camp Fire Inland Northwest is one of the largest councils in the country, providing programs for boys and girls ages 3-18 in 18 counties in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. Today our Council serves over 4,000 children each year in clubs, after school programs, and at our day and resident Spokane area summer camps: Camp Sweyolakan, and Camp Dart-Lo. We also have Camp Aowakiya available for rental, as well as limited dates for both Dart-Lo and Sweyolakan.
