Club Programs

Heart of Oklahoma traditional club programs encourage youth to connect with each other, older adult mentors, their families, their friends, and their communities through age-appropriate activities and service-learning opportunities.

Camp Fire program curriculum is based on five trails:

1. Trail to Knowing Me
2. Trail to Family and Community
3. Trail to Creativity
4. Trail to the Environment
5. Trail to the Future

Program curriculum and suggested activities are developed on sound youth development principles identified in a study by the Search Institute during the 1990’s.  Upon completion of the study, forty development assets were identified as essential to create positive building blocks for youth to become successful adults.  As a result of the study, Camp Fire shifted its focus from developing problem solving skills in youth to developing youth as assets to the communities in which they reside.  Camp Fire’s curriculum is progressive and based on a child’s age and educational level; in addition, curriculum and activities are outcome based and measured by program staff every year locally, and cumulatively on a national level.

Camp Fire traditional club programs are divided into levels based on the participant’s age and are identified as:

Little Stars

Starflight
Kindergarten: K Trail
1st grade: Trail Starter

All of Camp Fire’s programs have four important qualities: (1) progression, (2) variety, (3) partnership between youth and adults, and (4) rewards and recognition.
