About Camp Fire Minnesota

We help youth “light their spark within” through summer camp, environmental education& STEM classes for schools, and community-based out-of-school time nature programs.
We are proud to offer inclusive and welcoming programs to youth in the community. To this end, 40% of Camp Fire youth participate at reduced or nocost. As a result of their Camp Fire experience, 92% of youth report valuing nature and stewarding the environment.
Our summer camps at our Excelsior property offer youth and teens, progressive, nature-based learning through day, specialty day, overnight, adventure and leadership development camps. Camp Fire Minnesota is an ACA accredited camp.
