Our foundation for innovative and cutting-edge programs

Camp Fire has a long impressive history of making significant positive impacts in the lives of the youth, families and communities we serve. The national organization of Camp Fire USA has been in continuous operation since 1910 while local representation has been providing services to Bay Area children and teens since 1919. Over the years, Camp Fire programs have evolved and been innovative in order to successfully address the issues of the youth of the time. We have received several national awards that recognize our continued commitment to provide cutting-edge program opportunities.

In remaining true to our original purpose, Camp Fire USA celebrates diversity. We continue to emphasize the values of inclusiveness throughout all aspects of our programming. The Oakland East Bay Council works as an ally and advocate of all youth. Through our programs, boys and girls are empowered with support, skills, information, and opportunities to aid them in overcoming the biases, oppressions and obstacles that might prevent them from achieving their fullest potential. We represent Camp Fire programs in the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz.
