Whether it’s overnight adventures at Camp K on Kenai Lake, day camp fun at Camp Fireweed on the APU campus, or Summer Adventure Camp hosted in local schools, Camp Fire Alaska offers unforgettable summer experiences. With outdoor learning, creative play, and lasting memories, there’s a camp experience for every young Alaskan.

4. Foster Alaska’s future leaders

Camp Fire Alaska understands that circumstances can sometimes put a strain on the family budget— but that shouldn’t keep a young person from experiencing the joy of camp.
