Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Camp Fire First Texas!

Camp Fire volunteers are vital to supporting the outreach and successes of the organization. Each year more than 500 volunteers from the community donate their time, skills and expertise to help youth find their sparks and discover their passions.

Our volunteers serve in a variety of functions from board service and organizational oversight to working with youth in our programs. Many roll up their sleeves to improve a playground or after-school program site by painting, planting flowers or cleaning.

I don’t get stuck because I can always come back to the growth mindset that I learned from Camp Fire…

Jakob D., College Senior; Camp Fire Alum, Former Counselor

My time as a Camp Fire camp counselor is something I’m especially proud of. I learned to never give up, to always keep trying…what I learned from Camp Fire has helped me of live my life with forward momentum. I keep trying to learn new skill sets. I don’t get stuck because I can always come back to the growth mindset that I learned from Camp Fire, and from my elders.

I saw some spark come back to my son, and I am a grateful mama.

Camp Parent

My son had many difficulties in 3rd grade, and he was so defeated by the end of the school year. He wasn’t excited about a new camp, but quickly changed his mind after the first day. He also won a Leadership Award, and for the kid that didn’t win anything all school year, it was so very meaningful. I saw some spark come back to my son, and I am a grateful mama.
