Camp Fire USA is one of the nation's
leading not-for-profit youth
development organizations, currently serving nearly 750,000 children
and youth annually. Camp Fire USA, 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
USA's outcome-based programs include youth leadership, self-reliance,
after school groups, camping and environmental education and child care.
Serving youth from birth to 21, Camp Fire USA helps boys and girls learn - and play - side by side in comfortable, informal settings. Our coed programs allow parents to consolidate schedules for both their daughters and sons.
As the first nonsectarian, interracial organization for girls in the United States, Camp Fire USA takes pride in its long-standing commitment to providing fun programs and services to all children and families in America. We are inclusive, open to every person in the communities we serve, welcoming children, youth and adults regardless of race, religion, socioeconomic status, disability, sexual orientation or other aspect of diversity. Camp Fire USA's programs are designed and implemented to reduce sex-role, racial and cultural stereotypes and to foster positive intercultural relationships.

Our local philanthropy: Camp Fantastic
Started in 1983, Camp Fantastic is
Special Love's hallmark program
offering a week of summer fun to children with cancer.
The week-long camp provides children with cancer an opportunity to step back from the seriousness of their disease and enjoy the bonds of friendship with other children who share similar experiences.
Camp Fantastic provides classes, recreation, theme parties, campfires and other exciting activities for seven to seventeen year-old cancer patients who are currently being treated or have undergone treatment within the last three years.
