At Camp Fire First Texas, we know that every child holds a spark — a unique mix of talents, dreams, and potential. When nurtured, that spark grows into confidence, creativity, academic skills, and the life skills needed to thrive. This is our Whole Child Approach, and it’s at the heart of everything we do.
This one day of giving is a powerful opportunity to stand behind kids in our community. Your gift fuels year-round programs that nurture the whole child — wherever the need is greatest — so they can grow in every direction.
Academic Support through hands-on, project-based learning
When you give to Camp Fire, you’re helping every part of a child shine — now and for years to come.
Our Programs:
When you give to Camp Fire this North Texas Giving Day, you’re helping kids grow in every way — in the classroom, after school, at camp, and beyond. Here’s how your support makes a difference:
|
Camp El Tesoro A place where adventure meets growth. At Camp El Tesoro, kids explore the outdoors, discover new skills, and build resilience through “challenge by choice.” From archery and canoeing to campfire songs and team challenges, every experience fosters confidence, independence, and lifelong friendships. |
Safe, engaging spaces where learning continues after the bell rings. Our afterschool programs combine academic support, hands-on STEAM projects, creative arts, and outdoor play — giving kids the tools to succeed in school and in life, while building confidence and social skills. |
Teens in Action Leadership with purpose. Teens in Action empowers young people to take charge of their future and their community through service-learning, skill-building workshops, and mentorship. Participants graduate with stronger communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills — ready to lead wherever life takes them. |
Early Education Apprenticeship Program Stronger educators mean stronger starts for children. This unique program offers early childhood teachers on-the-job training, mentoring, and professional credentials, ensuring that our youngest learners have the quality care and education they deserve from day one. |
Your gift strengthens every part of a child — building confidence, creativity, skills, and dreams.
Camp Fire First Texas invests in North Texas communities by providing out-of-school time and outdoor learning programs for children and youth while also offering workforce development programs for the educators who care for them.
We envision a community in which every child has equitable access to the quality learning opportunities they need to succeed and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Unrestricted support helps every part of a child shine. It gives Camp Fire the flexibility to strengthen confidence, spark creativity, support academics, and teach life skills — wherever the need is greatest. Your gift fuels our ability to adapt, expand, and reach more children, teens, and families with the Whole Child Approach that changes lives for good.
Camp Fire believes in the dignity and the intrinsic worth of every human being. We welcome, affirm, and support young people and adults of all abilities and disabilities, experiences, races, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, religion and non-religion, citizenship and immigration status, and any other category people use to define themselves or others. We strive to create safe and inclusive environments that celebrate diversity and foster positive relationships.
