This will be Emma’s fifth year with Camp Fire Alaska, and she is excited to continue creating meaningful experiences and connections with youth. Originally from Alaska, Emma enjoys spending time with her two dogs outside of work. One of her favorite activities to do with youth is cooking, as it is another passion of hers. Emma especially enjoys creating opportunities for youth to learn new skills, be creative, and have fun while making something together.
The Camp Fire Alaska main office operates on the ancestral land of the Dena’ina people. Camp Fire Alaska runs programing on the lands of the Athabascan, Yup’ik, Chup’ik, Sougpiaq, and Inupiaq peoples. We value and thank them for their current and historic commitment to and protection of this land. We pledge to assist, in partnership, in the environmental stewardship of these lands. We strive to learn more about the history of the Native peoples of Alaska and the historic trauma they have suffered. We commit to being an active ally through activities, actions, and organizational decisions and practices. We understand that this is a dynamic process through which our Land Acknowledgement practices, and statement will evolve as we receive feedback from tribal partners and acquire a deeper understanding of and from the Native peoples of Alaska..
