Summer is just around the corner, and with it comes new friends, outdoor adventures, and unforgettable memories in Camp Fire Alaska’s summer programs. But we need your help to make sure that having the right gear isn’t a barrier for kids to enjoy everything our camps have to offer. By donating new or gently used outdoor gear during the month of April, you can turn your spring cleaning into a simple way to help kids have the best summer ever!

Thank you to Big Rays for once again partnering with us to make summer adventures more accessible to kids.
