Youth learn orienteering, pacing, ropes, knots, knife skills and an appreciation of our natural surroundings. The Outdoor Skills Program is designed to provide urban youth with a environmental outdoor educational experience. Volunteers will be trained to facilitate a group of teens who meet for a four to six hour day facilitation, overnight mini-camp or a group facilitator that meets three to six months. Volunteers empower teens to act upon issues that negatively impact their lives. As a leader, you will mentor youth through Camp Fire activities that provideopportunities to experience learning by doing and developing life skills.
Leaders typically meet with youth weekly throughout the traditional school year.
Young people from Kindergarten through twelfth grades are Club members who moveprogressively through program levels with an adult leader. The Club program provides members with opportunities to develop planning and decision making skills, as well as skills related toindividual interests. This is accomplished through a partnership between youth and adults. Both leaders and members are involved in making decisions for the Club. Please read it.
