Camp Fire will work with you to develop custom programs indoors and outdoors on our diverse 7 acres of natural property!

This picture is from a program that included an orienteering course from 6 years ago. The children and adults worked together to navigate their way through the woods using a compass!
The group also rented the cabin for use of the indoor facility for their celebration. The building has running water, bathrooms and a fully functioning kitchen.
