Camping Opportunities
Adults and youth get to experience nature and the outdoor environment at camps sponsored by Camp Fire USA.  By learning camping skills in fishing, canoeing, outdoor cooking, horseback riding, swimming, rock climbing, rappelling, and group living, boys and girls and even camp counselors develop self-esteem, socialization skills, and an appreciation and commitment to the natural environment.

The Heart of Oklahoma Council owns two Camp Fire Camps and offers week-long camping opportunities in our outlying areas.  One week of day camp is held at Camp TanDaKo in Perry, Camp Da Wa Si in Ada, and Camp Candala in Shawnee.
