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. Camp Fire Central Coast of California operates as a 501c3 organization.
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 promise states that young people want to shape their world, and that in Camp Fire it begins now, with the phrase “Light the fire within.” The program describes listening, encouraging, and providing the opportunity to uncover each young person’s unique interests.
Camp Fire Central Coast of California has a Statement of Inclusion that affirms the dignity and intrinsic worth of every human being. It welcomes 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 organization states that it strives to create safe and inclusive environments that celebrate diversity and foster positive relationships. The program also acknowledges its community partners with the statement, “THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS!”
One testimonial from Jess states that Camp Fire has helped them connect with nature, taught them lessons, and brought them relationships they describe as lasting a lifetime, and they describe Camp Fire as “truly a way of life.” Another testimonial from Rene states that 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 the chances of finding out what their “Spark” is and how to achieve it.
