CLUBS
Clubs for each level of children and teens
are the basis for engaging activities in Camp Fire.
Youth have an opportunity to try new things and experience a taste of arts,
camping, crafts, business, community service and more. If a club or child enjoys
that first sample, they may choose to pursue more in-depth projects and aim
for higher awards and honors.
Camp Fire clubs are always forming. It just takes a few motivated kids and
adults to make it happen! Since clubs are co-ed, families with similarly-aged
boys and girls can work together on activities. Camp Fire’s exhaustively
researched activity books are filled with age-appropriate games and projects.
Children take important leadership roles in choosing the club’s path,
and are rewarded with emblems they can display on their uniforms. In Central
Ohio, children can also take their talents to the next level, entering their
creations in the state fair!
Call the Camp Fire office at 614-481-8227 to find out if there is an existing club near you, or to receive volunteer
training and activity books in order to start your own club.

Wohelo Award:
Camp Fire USA's Highest Honor
Each year, approximately 200 Camp Fire USA's youth
members attain the honor of the Wohelo Award. This award is earned
by a dedicated few who complete four "Reflections" that
demonstrate a commitment to Camp Fire USA and advocate for improved
social conditions.
There are many ways a youth member can earn the
Wohelo Award. He or she chooses a topic of interest and develops
projects and advocates based on that topic. Advocacy actions
that a Wohelo Award recipient must achieve are to lead, teach,
serve and speak out.
Wohelo Award recipients are among the most dedicated
and hardest working of the Camp Fire USA membership. This award
has stood for high achievement since its inception in 1962. At
that time it was called the Wohelo Medallion.
