Camp Fire Golden Empire, founded in 1939, is the Northern California council of Camp Fire USA. Our primary programs are run at Camp Gold Hollow, a property we have owned and operated since 1944 offering Summer Camps and Programs where children connect to nature, to others and to themselves.
Camp Fire USA has actively engaged youth and teens in building essential skills for life for more than 100 years. We’re proud of our heritage of cultivating community building, supporting academic readiness, and embracing diversity.
Camp Fire has been a leader and innovator from the very beginning. We’re proud to have led the way on some important issues. For example Camp Fire was America’s first nonsectarian and multicultural organization for girls and in 1975, Camp Fire became a coeducational organization.
Camp Fire connects young people to the outdoors, to others, and to themselves.
We help youth thrive.
We build community.
We honor the land and our legacy.
Locally, Camp Fire Golden Empire is one of the last remaining Camp Fire affiliates in California, a guardian of tradition and a steward of bold future growth.
We work toward a world where every young person belongs, feels safe, is valued for who they are, and experiences the life-changing magic of camp.
