What is Camp Fire?
Camp Fire USA is a youth development organization featuring quality in-school, after-school and summertime programs with enough activities to meet the needs of Central Alabama’s youth every day of the year. These programs help kids succeed – in life and in school.
Camp Fire USA believes that children and youth are our most precious resources and that each child deserves the chance to have positive, caring people to nurture them in their personal development. Camp Fire’s programs build confidence in younger children and provide hands-on, youth-driven leadership experiences for older youth.
Quality and relevance, complemented by our commitment to our mission and dedicated community partners, drive all Camp Fire USA programs and services. Together, Camp Fire USA, parents, educators and community members are building caring, confident youth and future leaders.

Updated: Spring and Summer Programs for Youth
Spring is in the air, which means summer is just around the corner. Have you started planning for your family's "off time"? As you do, we hope that you'll consider a Camp Fire program or two. We know that youth who participate in youth development activities (like those at Camp Fire) during out-of-school time aren't just keeping busy or safe, but will also actually boost their decision-making skills and interpersonal confidence and are more likely to enter school in the fall at or above their exiting performance level.
From the adventuresome to the artistic, we have programs for varied interests and ages in locations around the greater Birmingham area. An overview of all spring and summer programs is below. You can find information on all of our programs here on our website. You may also call us with any questions or to schedule a tour of our camps. Have a great summer!
