Starting or Joining a Community Family Club

“What is Community Family Club?”

Community Family Club is an exciting new Camp Fire USA program for the whole family!

Community Family Club is designed to give children a safe, fun place to grow and learn. The club provides meaningful family time while teaching children the importance of giving back to their community.

“What does “family” mean?”

Family is a very broad term in regards to our Community Family Club program. Family can include youth and their parents, aunts/uncles, grandparents, siblings, neighbors -- any adult who is interested in mentoring a child.

“How often does the club meet?”

There is a meeting once a month and a field trip or special event once a month. In addition, we recommend an informal activity night and a family take-home project each month as well.

“Who organizes the clubs meetings and activities?”

You do. Someone from your community group will be trained to organize the club, however, the families run the club meetings. Each family member can help as much or as little as he/she prefers. For example, one meeting a parent or adult mentor might do crafts with the elementary-age youth. Another person might lead the group in song. Another might handle the check-in table. Everyone has talent and an opportunity to use that talent to help the children in their club.

“What other activities are offered?”

Camp Fire USA provides a monthly field trip or special event such as picnics, plays, camping, festivals etc. The events are fun, and all clubs are encouraged to participate.

“What does it cost to participate?”

All of this family fun costs only $45 per family, per year. Special events and outings may involve an additional fee.
