Camp Fire USA was established with a strong foundation and belief in providing positive outdoor experiences for youth. The Camp Fire USA mission, core values and the belief that children need a connection with the natural world is fundamental to all Camp Fire USA programs.

Camp Adahi offers developmental outdoor activities that lead to positive youth development outcomes, including:

• Planning and decision making
• Cultural competence, sensitivity and building extended friendship circles
• Teamwork and a sense of "fair play"
• Peaceful conflict resolution
• Service to the community
• Constructive use of time
• Building caring adult relationships

Resident Camp at Camp Adahi is an overnight program with 2 week-long sessions and 5 mini-camp sessions available in July. Open to youth 8 years and up, Resident Camp is an excellent opportunity to increase self-reliance and build confidence. By combining instruction of basic survival skills and fun, Resident campers eagerly develop a sense of responsibility in caring for their group's needs. Youth work together to maintain a common shelter, prepare meals and accomplish group project goals. The result is lasting friendships made between capable, self-sufficient youth with knowledge of the basic principles of outdoor survival and a true appreciation for our natural environment.
