About Camp Fire Snohomish County
We serve over 3,500 youth annually through a variety of year-round programs that meet young people where they are—whether in schools, community spaces, or in nature at our 185-acre Camp Killoqua in Stanwood.
Our core offerings include:
- Club Programs: Youth ages 3 through high school participate in Classic Clubs and Mega Clubs, meeting weekly to build life skills, friendships, and community connections. Activities are grounded in Camp Fire’s Five Trails curriculum—community engagement, creativity, environment, future orientation, and self-awareness—and guided by adult mentors.
- Teens in Action: A leadership-focused extension of Club Programs, this initiative engages middle and high school youth in service-learning, social-emotional development, and goal-setting.
- Self-Reliance Programs: These classroom-based courses are offered in partnership with local schools and focus on helping young people build confidence, resist peer pressure, navigate stress, and develop healthy coping strategies. Many of these courses are provided free of charge to ensure accessibility across our community.
- After School Programs: Located in high-need communities, our after school sites provide daily enrichment, outdoor play, academic support, and social-emotional learning. When school is not in session, youth in our programs experience field trips and outdoor education days at Camp Killoqua.
- Camp Killoqua: Since 1941, Camp Killoqua has offered transformational summer and year-round outdoor experiences. Situated on Crabapple Lake, this 185-acre property features forests, trails, fields, and waterfront access. Programs include day and overnight summer camps, school-year retreats, and outdoor education for students from across the region. Camp Killoqua is open to all, with a robust scholarship program ensuring that cost is never a barrier to participation.
- Specialty Camps: We host Inclusion Camp for youth ages 7–21 with mild to moderate developmental disabilities, and Camp Willie, a bereavement camp for youth who have experienced the death of a loved one. Both programs are fully inclusive and staffed with trained counselors to provide emotional and social support in a safe environment.
Across all our work, we prioritize equity, inclusion, and access. We intentionally design programs to be welcoming and reflective of the diverse communities we serve, and we strive to meet the evolving needs of youth and families in Snohomish County.
