Leaf clearing the trails makes all the difference!
One of the core values of Camp Fire has always been giving service…
We saw our Camp Fire community come together at the end of April for an opportunity to return to Camp Sealth and give service where it was needed most: preparing the site and facilities to safely welcome folks back this summer!
The individuals, friends, and households that joined us for a rainy Saturday in 2021, brought their infectious joy and sense of stewardship as they tackled projects around camp. Whether it was deep cleaning cabins, brush clearing on Blueberry Hill, or weeding our vegetable garden – each task brought Camp Sealth one step closer to its full glory as we prepare for the return of spring cabin rentals and more importantly, summer camp in July & August!
We are so thankful for our members, staff, campers, and alumni who strive to exemplify service in everything they do.
Board member Kathy Jones shares more about why she chooses to volunteer:
“I grew up in Camp Fire as a youth member, and it’s an organization that I have supported most of my life. I point to Camp Fire and the experiences that it provided for me as a youth, in developing my leadership skills and a lifetime of service to the community. As an adult, I love to give back to this organization that meant so much to me as a kid. Volunteering allows me to expand my knowledge and share my business skills which helps me be a better employee and all-around contributor to my community. It is very rewarding to see the results of the good work of organizations like Camp Fire.”
