“The beauty of Camp Fire, to me, is its intentionality and its inclusiveness. It’s not about just finding things for kids to do. It’s about finding ways for young people to be resilient, no matter their circumstances… It’s about leadership, civic engagement, involvement. It’s about those three little words: ‘WoHeLo.’”
