Summer Camp at Camp Fire North Shore

At Camp Fire North Shore, camp is more than a place — it’s a community where every child belongs. Our summer programs are rooted in play, nature, and the arts, and designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and create lasting friendships. We are committed to inclusion and believe that every young person deserves the chance to thrive. With a staff-to-child ratio of 1:10, and additional supports available through our intake process, we work alongside families to ensure every camper is set up for success.
