EDELRI Camp Fire Light the fire within Camp Fire North Central Washington (NCW) has been serving youth in our region for more than 100 years, offering inclusive, year-round programs that help young people connect to the outdoors, to others, and to themselves. Our goal is to help every child discover their spark and develop the confidence, leadership skills, and resilience they need to thrive. Camp Fire NCW operates Camp Zanika Lache (established in 1932), a residential summer camp on Lake Wenatchee where hundreds of local youth experience outdoor adventure, environmental education, team-building, challenge courses, arts, canoeing, archery, and leadership development. Camp Zanika also hosts outdoor education programs for schools and community groups throughout the year. In addition to camp, our Kids Clubs provide after-school and small-group learning opportunities that focus on character development, STEM activities, service projects, and building positive peer relationships. Our Youth United teen program connects young people with leadership training, community service opportunities, and pathways to becoming mentors or camp staff. Together, these programs serve well over a thousand youth each year, ensuring young people across North Central Washington have access to safe, supportive, and enriching experiences that build confidence, connection, and character. "Camp Fire NCW is committed to making sure every child has the chance to experience the magic of camp and the power of supportive youth programs," said Theresa Samuelsen, Executive Director. "Give NCW helps us keep these opportunities accessible to all families in our community, regardless of financial barriers. Every donation truly makes a difference in a young person's life." This year, Camp Fire NCW is participating in the Give NCW fundraiser to support camp scholarships, strengthen year- round programming, and make essential improvements to our camp facilities. Every donation stays local and directly benefits children and teens in our communities.
