Agency Profile: Camp Fire USA Central Alabama
Camp Fire has actively engaged youth and teens in building essential skills for life for more than 100 years. We’re proud of our heritage of cultivating community building, supporting academic readiness, and embracing diversity. Camp Fire was founded in 1910 by Luther Gulick, M.D., and his wife, Charlotte Gulick. They created Camp Fire to guide young people on their journey to self-discovery. The Gulicks felt strongly that young people should have experiences so they could learn to care for themselves, their environment, and the people around them. Camp Fire has been a leader and innovator from the very beginning. We’re proud to have led the way on some important issues.
Our Promise
Young people want to shape the world. Camp Fire provides the opportunity to find their spark, lift their voice, and discover who they are. In Camp Fire it begins now. Light the fire within.
