Classic Club Program

Youth meet with adult mentors in homes, schools, churches and community centers.  Together, youth and volunteers decide upon the structure – meeting times, projects, trips and community participation.  Children earn beads and emblems as they complete individual as well as club goals.  The Classic Club program is also offered in an after school setting.

Kids move progressively through Camp Fire program level according to their school level.  Each program level name symbolizes expanding opportunities, choices and leadership.

Starflight:  Kindergarten, 1^st and 2^nd grades - The Starflight level is designed for children in kindergarten through second grade. The curricula can be used in traditional small-group settings or adopted for after school programs, such as Community Family Club. Youth learn responsibility, decision making and other valuable skills through a variety of projects centered on five trails. Youth participate in projects focusing on family, nature and the outdoors, safety, science, health, community service, art, music and drama. They learn while working together and having fun. All projects are designed to fit the abilities and interests of this age level. Recognition is an important component of the Starflight program, and youth receive emblems or certificates after completing a project

Adventure:  3^rd, 4^th and 5^th grades The Adventure level is designed for youth in third, fourth and fifth grades. Again, the curricula can be used in traditional small-group settings or adopted for after school programs, such as Community Family Club. Youth complete a variety of activities centered on five trails. Each trail has many exciting activities and topics. Adventure members can choose activities to do with their groups, families or by themselves. Activities are progressive in nature and require the youth to sharpen living skills, make choices and plan activities.

Discovery: 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grades - Youth in sixth, seventh and eighth grades may participate in the Discovery program or Teens in Action. In Discovery, Camp Fire USA youth explore their roles as members of families, schools, churches, neighborhoods, teams or other groups. In “Discover Yourself,” youth explore who they are and who they want to be; they plan for the present and prepare for the future. In “Discover Community,” youth have opportunities to learn how communities work and how, as individuals, they can affect change in their communities. Torch Bearer projects also provide youth opportunities to explore areas of interest specific to them or their groups.

Horizon: 9^th through 12^th grades - The Horizon program is designed for youth in ninth, 10 th, 11 th and 12 grades. The Camp Fire USA Horizon program is different for each member. At this level, teens are encouraged to participate in the activities as individual members or with other group members. In the Horizon program, teens are given the opportunity to create and build their own horizons, or their own futures. “Highlight” activities are designed to examine ideas, values, morals and experiences. Four “Reflection” projects provide focus for teens on self, choices and decisions, future goals and planning, and self-reliance skills. Teens typically begin working toward the Wohelo Award in Horizon.

The programs are organized into five subject areas. These are called Camp Fire trails.  
The trails are:

·     Trail to the Environment to help children understand and appreciate the world of nature.

·     Trail to Creativity to stimulate creativity and imagination.

·     Trail to Knowing Me to learn more about self (personal skills, gifts and talents).

·     Trail to Family and Community to strengthen each child's place in the family to develop
compassion for others and a desire to give service.

·     Trail to the Future to stimulate new interests and knowledge, both mental and physical, and
develop skills to adapt to the future.
