Mission: Mission and VisionCamp Fire invests in North Texas communities by providing out-of-school time and outdoor learning programs for children and youth while also offering workforce development programs for early childhood educators. We envision a community in which every child has equitable access to the learning opportunities they need to succeed and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Results: Our programs stand out for three key reasons:1.We are uniquely focused on the two periods of greatest brain growth and development: early childhood and early adolescence. 2.We leverage the impact of the outdoor environment on the brain to educate and connect children to each other and the world around them. 3.We intentionally maintain a continuous improvement loop through the Camp Fire Program Quality Assessment to maximize community impact.
