Dr. and Mrs. Luther Gulick founded Camp Fire Girls in 1910 as the first non-sectarian, interracial organization for girls. Built on the American traditions of pioneering and Indian lore, our guiding values are self-reliance, the importance of community, and environmental education
.In 1975, recognizing the need for girls and boys to learn to work together at a young age, Camp Fire became co-ed and changed its name to Camp Fire Boys and Girls. In 2001, we evolved again, changing our name to Camp Fire USA and modernizing our logo and image to appeal to the kids of today.

One of Camp Fire USA's greatest strengths has always been its ability to anticipate, plan and adapt to change. So many people fondly remember the Camp Fire of their childhood - a youth service organization that was a growing, dynamic force in the community. Today's children are confronted with challenges unlike any generation before, and Camp Fire USA continues its tradition of listening to the needs of young people, responding with exciting, relevant programs. Today's Camp Fire is for today's kids. |
