What a Young Person Discovers Today Can Help Shape Who They Become Tomorrow.
Camp Fire believes that the experiences young people have today shape the adults they become tomorrow. Through hands-on, evidence-based experiences rooted in nature, belonging, and meaningful relationships, young people don't simply learn new skills, they discover confidence, resilience, purpose, and their own potential. Your North Texas Giving Day gift makes those life-shaping experiences possible.
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 Fire Camp El Tesoro That’s how Dilan described reaching the top of the climbing wall at Camp El Tesoro. What looked like one trip up a wall became something bigger: a chance to try something new, push past uncertainty, and discover confidence she didn’t know she had. |
Afterschool Programs Zachariah made a beeline for the monkey bars. After climbing to the top, he sat catching his breath and explained why he loves to climb: it helps him get better in gym so he can go to the Olympics when he grows up. In an ordinary afternoon, Zachariah was already imagining something bigger. |
Teens in Action Hannah expected a fun week with friends. She found something more. At Teens in Action Spring Break Camp, Hannah stepped outside her comfort zone, built stronger friendships, and discovered new confidence in herself. She went home excited about what she could accomplish—and eager to stay involved with Camp Fire. |
Early Education Pre-Apprenticeship Program She came to Camp Fire First Texas with an interest in working with young children. Through hands-on experience in an early childhood classroom, Tariana gained confidence, earned industry-recognized credentials, and discovered a pathway toward a meaningful career serving young children. |
Courage. Confidence. Belonging. Purpose. Every young person discovers something different.
Your gift helps create the opportunity to discover it!
Camp Fire First Texas ignites curiosity and confidence through hands-on, evidence-based experiences from camps to classrooms to educator training, empowering young people to connect with nature, contribute to their communities, and reach their full potential, their way.
Every young person begins their Camp Fire First Texas journey in a different place.
Some need a safe place to learn and belong after school.
Some discover just how brave they can be at Camp El Tesoro.
Some gain the confidence to lead and serve their communities.
Some prepare for careers that will shape the next generation of learners.
Wherever their journey begins, Camp Fire intentionally creates the experiences, relationships, and opportunities that help young people discover what they're capable of.
Your North Texas Giving Day gift gives Camp Fire the flexibility to meet each young person where they are, helping children, teens, and future educators build confidence, find purpose, and shape brighter futures.
Camp Fire believes in the dignity and intrinsic worth of every human being. We want to serve every child, so we strive to create places and programs where everyone is safe and feels they belong. We also work diligently to make accommodations for accessibility and privacy.
