About
Camp Fire Central Coast of California offers youth programs built around a research-based framework called “The Camp Fire Journey,” which is founded on the pillars of Social Emotional Learning (SEL). The program uses an approach called “THRIVEOLOGY,” which focuses on self-discovery, community connection, and engagement with nature.
The organization’s stated vision is a world where all young people thrive and have equitable opportunities for self-discovery, community connection, and engagement with nature. Its mission promise states that young people want to shape their world, and that Camp Fire provides the opportunity for them to find their spark, lift their voice, and discover who they are. The program states that it listens, encourages, and provides the opportunity to uncover each young person’s unique interests.
Camp Fire Central Coast of California is a 501c3 organization. Its Statement of Inclusion says it welcomes, affirms, and supports young people and adults of all abilities and disabilities, experiences, races, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, religion and non-religion, citizenship and immigration status, and any other category people use to define themselves or others. The statement also says the organization strives to create safe and inclusive environments that celebrate diversity and foster positive relationships.
The program lists community partners, including Bahamii bars and QUICK TECH Computer & Electronic Repair Specialists serving San Luis Obispo County.
One testimonial from Jess says that Camp Fire has helped them connect with nature, taught them lessons, and brought them relationships that they describe as lasting a lifetime, and that “Camp Fire is truly a way of life.” Another testimonial from Rene says they have learned to keep going, to not give up on their “Spark,” and that they have learned about different types of mindsets and making good choices, which they believe will help them in their future by increasing their chances of becoming more successful at finding out what their “Spark” is and how to achieve it.
