Introduction

Welcome to Camp Fire Eastern Massachusetts! We are excited to share many things on this blog! As we hold programs such as Mad Science, Blast Off!, Time Travelers, Babysitting Certification, Imagination Kids, etc... we will be sharing the exciting experiences and activities that we encounter. We also have exciting one day vacation programs during December, February, and April Vacation, and summer camps that occur for eight weeks in the summer months.

If you are visiting us for the first time, here is more information about Camp Fire Eastern Massachusetts.

Camp Fire is one of the nation’s leading not-for-profit youth development organizations, currently serving 735,000 children annually. Camp Fire, with national headquarters in Kansas City, MO., provides all-inclusive, coeducational programs in hundreds of communities across the United States. Founded in 1910, Camp Fire outcome-based programs include youth leadership, self-reliance, after school groups, camping, environmental education, community service, and child care.

Camp Fire Eastern Massachusetts Council, founded in 1919, serves the greater Boston area. Last year we served over 1,150 co-ed youth at our after school programs and camps; Camp Ponkiwanee, ZooCamp.

Our participants range in age from 5-18 with age appropriate programs available for all participants. Camp Fire programs are led by committed, caring adults who want to invest in today’s youth. Camp Fire's Promise is: "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." 

As the first nonsectarian, interracial organization for girls in the United States, Camp Fire takes pride in its long-standing commitment to providing fun programs and services to all children’s and families in America. We are inclusive, open to every person in the communities we serve, welcoming youth and adults regardless of race, religion, socioeconomic status, disability, sexual orientation or other aspect of diversity. Camp Fire programs are designed and implemented to reduce gender, racial and cultural stereotypes and to foster positive intercultural relationships.
