Camp Fire USA is one of the nation's leading not-for-profit youth development organizations, currently serving nearly 750,000 children and youth annually. We are inclusive, open to every person in the communities we serve, welcoming children, youth and adults regardless of race, religion, socioeconomic status, disability, orientation or other aspect of diversity.

This is a local area announcement and discussion group for Camp Fire members in the South Lake County, Florida area.

We will use this space as a tool for the advancement of ideas, the scheduling of posts of upcoming events and for ease of communication between the group members, leaders, volunteers and parents.

We are a family-focused program that encourages parents to participate in small group programs with their children. This program promotes interaction between youth and adults. Parents don’t just watch; they participate with their children in developmental activities. The components of the program include at least once monthly meetings, at-home projects, field trips or special events, and informal activity nights. The themes of the meetings are based on Camp Fire’s five trails program.

Camp Fire USA offers quality, coeducational programming for the entire family. Youth development research has shown that elementary age children need opportunities to spend quality time with their parents. Teens need the support of three or more caring adults outside of their families to help them develop to their full potential. Sharing family meals together is indicative to be a major factor in helping kids stay out of trouble. Community Family Club helps parents who want to be involved with their kids but have limited time to give. It allows the whole family to feel better about the shared experience.
