Camp Fire Alaska | Light the Fire Within

AIKD 2023

March 21, 2023

Every year, millions of people write/tell a young person in their life why they matter and what makes them amazing. Camp Fire founded this holiday in 1997 to encourage and inspire young people nationwide.

This year was a blast. It came, we celebrated, and we already can’t wait til next year!

Each of our Before & After School Program sites held a family event where snacks were shared, exciting activities took place, and some ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE bandanas were handed out to each of our incredible youth for them to have a physical reminder of all the qualities that make them so uniquely awesome.

This year, we asked our Camp Fire kids what they thought makes them incredible and here are some of their responses!

YOUR WORDS ARE POWERFUL.
USE THEM TO CHANGE A YOUNG PERSON’S LIFE.

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..
