Located in the forested hills above the Missouri River, Camp Shawnee is 318 acres of adventure--fully accredited by the American Camping Association. Camp Shawnee has four villages of rustic cabins. Each village has its own restroom and shower facilities. The main camping area features a centralized lighted swimming pool, two-story air-conditioned craft cabin, and expansive dining hall. Camp has miles of hiking trails winding through the forest surrounding the cabins and buildings.

Camp Fire is about family, friends and community. We build our resident camping community around the values represented in the Camp Fire watchword WoHeLo (work, health, love). Campers form their own mini-communities of 8 to 12. Camp Fire stresses teamwork and the importance of living in harmony with nature. We’re proud of the high quality of our trained counseling staff. They are high energy, creative people who are deeply committed to Camp Fire’s national mission—“building caring, confident youth and future leaders.”

Camp Fire and Camp Shawnee programs are open to all without regard to race, religion, national origin, or gender. (Please consult with the camp director regarding especially severe physical disabilities.) Camp Shawnee is proud to offer camping experiences for thousands of youth each year in and around the Kansas City area.
