Very simply, Camp Fire is that ounce of prevention. Camp Fire helps kids get all these things. It improves a child's chances of being successful in today's world. It means being a self-reliant person and contributing citizen. In any prevention program, the benefits are sometimes hard to see.
Some benefits are immediate, like learning to speak in front of a group.
Some are long-term, like learning the satisfaction of helping others. Every child takes away something different from a Camp Fire club experience. The same activity may spark new creativity in one child and teach another to share with a friend. But the Camp Fire club program is designed to give all children some common experiences. The club becomes a positive support group for its members.
