Camp Fun in the Sun

Disappointed Experience – Feels More Like Babysitting Than Camp This was our first summer attending Camp Fire Inland Northwest, and unfortunately, it was a major letdown. I enrolled my 13, 11, and 9-year-old children expecting a structured, enriching camp experience—but what we got felt more like a loosely supervised daycare. There was a serious lack of organization, and each day seemed unplanned and unengaging. My kids came home feeling bored and unimpressed, which is not how summer camp should feel. We’ve participated in other local camps this summer, including Camp Kroc and Camp Ka-Mee-Lin, and I can confidently say those were well worth the time and money. Both offered structure, thoughtful programming, and staff who were clearly invested in creating a great experience for the kids. Sadly, Camp Fire Inland Northwest did not meet that standard. I wouldn’t recommend this camp unless you’re simply looking for a place to drop your kids off for the day with minimal expectations.

My daughter attended Camp Fire Spokane in July 2024 and had a wonderful time. The staff were warm and welcoming, the facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the program was thoughtfully run from start to finish. She came home excited each day and full of stories about what she learned and the friends she made. I really appreciated how organized everything was and how supported she felt throughout the week. Highly recommend this camp to any family in the area.

Our son always has the best time at Camp Dart-Lo and their off-season classes. They are well-organized, staff is friendly, and they are inclusive of all children! They're teaching leadership skills while the kids have fun so they don't even realize it. Highly recommend campfire camps for all kiddos!

The camps provided by Camp Fire Inland Northwest are unbeatable. We keep going back year after year and will continue for many more. My 3 kids have loved each Camp Fire experience - Camp Dart-Lo, the Junior & Senior PALS programs/teen leadership, Winter Break Camp, and overnight at Camp Sweyolakan in CDA. They made friends, built crafts, played games, sang songs, swam, learned new skills, and most importantly spent priceless time outdoors in nature getting dirty exploring the world around them. We used the bus service to/from Dart-Lo for the first time this year. This, too, is amazingly priced with stops in various parts of Spokane. Nothing surpasses the value for the price!

At the end of the 2024 summer we put our little girl in Camp-Dart-lo for two weeks. We were worried about her being away all day since she was only three years old. Also, we came out from Cheney so there was a lot of transportation. However, my little girl had so much fun. They had crafts, swimming and games. The older campers were very supportive of the younger campers, so she always felt at home. Be sure to register early! All the camps in the Spokane area fill up fast. We were unable to register on time for our older girl (6 years old). Next year for sure!
