CFNS Finalizes 3 Year Strategic Plan
We are thrilled to share an exciting milestone for Camp Fire North Shore: the completion of our strategic plan for the next three years!
This plan is the result of months of thoughtful work and collaboration. Together with Liz Blodgett Smith, our board, staff, and community partners, we’ve charted a bold vision for how Camp Fire will continue to grow and serve children, teens, and families across the North Shore.
A Collaborative Process
We knew that for this plan to be meaningful, it needed to reflect the voices of the people we serve and those who make our programs possible. Along the way we:
Collected surveys from families and staff to understand strengths, needs, and hopes for the future.
Held numerous board meetings and discussions to ensure strong governance and alignment.
Invested in staff retreats and team-building sessions to engage our team in shaping the direction forward.
This inclusive process allowed us to center the perspectives of our community and staff in every decision.
Our Strategic Focus Areas
The new plan outlines key priorities that will guide our work from 2025 through 2028:
Operational Efficiencies & Metrics – Strengthening systems and using data to measure success.
Financial & Fundraising Sustainability – Building the resources needed to sustain and grow our impact.
Communication & Marketing – Elevating our story and reaching more families.
Program Quality & Growth – Enhancing our current programs while expanding opportunities for youth.
Leadership Development & Training – Investing in our staff so they can thrive as professionals and mentors.
Board Growth & Development – Expanding and strengthening our board to lead into the future.
Looking Ahead
This plan is more than a document, it’s a roadmap for impact. With clear goals, strong values, and a united team, we are confident that Camp Fire North Shore will continue to spark curiosity, connection, and growth for the thousands of youth and families we serve.
We’re grateful to everyone who contributed ideas, energy, and vision to this process. The next three years are full of possibility and we can’t wait to take this journey together.
