We’ve been watching our caterpillars grow and change, and now we’re getting to see the beginning stages of their transformation into butterflies! 🐛➡️🦋

Such a fun way to learn about nature right before our eyes. 💙

Our 5th–7th graders are getting creative with their very own clay puppets! 🎨✨ Last week they started by sketching out their “blueprints,” this week they brought the pieces to life with clay, and next week they’ll be painting and putting everything together. We can’t wait to see the finished creations! 🔥

to one of our favorite summer experiences! ☀️🔥

Our 3rd and 4th grade campers had the opportunity to visit Polyglass USA for a behind-the-scenes tour where they learned about the company, watched the manufacturing process firsthand, and even applied Polyglass products to the roof of their very own birdhouses to take home! They also got to watch a torch-down roofing demonstration—which may have been one of the biggest hits of the day. 🔥🏠

We are so grateful to Polyglass for being such a steady supporter of Camp Fire Sunshine, for welcoming our campers, inspiring them with hands-on learning, and continuing to give back to our organization and the community. 💙

As we kick off the first day of school, we want to wish all of our students, families, teachers, and school partners a happy, safe, and successful year ahead! 📚✨

We’re also taking a moment to look back on an incredible summer at Camp Fire Sunshine. Our 2026 Summer Camp was filled with learning, adventure, friendships, and memories, and we are so grateful to GiveWell Community Foundation for helping make it possible through the 2026 Impact Polk Grant.

Thank you for investing in our campers and helping us continue creating meaningful experiences for young people in our community. 💙🔥
