★Lilly BennettStaff unprofessional and rude, especially those in the office. The counselors are treated unfairly and they seem to favor employing younger people who will settle for being underpaid. Genuinely the behind the scenes stuff is a bit shocking here.

★★★★★Daryl MeadAbsolutely love our Camp Fire experiences over the years, We have been to Camp Kirby and multiple summer camps and always had a great time. I have two kiddos and they love getting to play outside, learn new things and bring home fun crafts.
★★★★★Tracy OsbornOur 7 year old daughter has been a part of Camp Fire since she was 4 and loves every minute of it! The friends we have made, the camps we have attended, the crafts, the fun...we love it all! I was in Camp Fire when I was little and it is so great to see my daughter loving it as much as I did. Our group leader is amazing and always has something super fun planned for all of our meetings.
