Camp Fire recognized three kids chosen for their resilience, determination, courage, compassion, and joy. They are Ohio fifth-grader Hala Khalil, who has quickly learned English after arriving from Jordan; aspiring drummer Jessica Albertson; and talented baseball player Davy Bradley.
The organization taught kids and teens SEL (Social Emotional Learning) skills via the new Thrive framework, a research-based approach for youth success.
Camp Fire celebrated 100 years. Participants from coast to coast lit campfires (of course!) at the same time to mark the occasion.
Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® began as a nationwide effort urging adults to write about the awesome children in their lives.
Camp Fire, America's first multiracial, multicultural, and nonsectarian organization for girls, went co-ed. There are now a total of 54 chapters, or "councils."
