The Firefighters Kids Camp is a one-week program that is held annually to benefit young burn survivors who are age six (and completed the 1st grade) to age seventeen.

Our mission is to provide young burn survivors with a fun and safe camp environment that encourages healing, personal growth and character development within a natural setting. This year’s program will be held the first week of August at Camp Concord in South Lake Tahoe.

The week’s activities consist of both in-camp and out-of-camp events such as arts and crafts, swimming, cycling, hiking, fishing, boating on Lake Tahoe, rafting on the Truckee River, ice skating and swimming at Squaw Valley’s High Camp, cruising Lake Tahoe on the MS Dixie, campfire skits and songs, a BIG dance, and much, much more!

The program is supported by a well-trained and enthusiastic volunteer staff that consists primarily of firefighters, burn care professionals and adult burn survivors, and includes a camp nurse and physical therapist for those children who need to continue their therapy. A minimum staff-to-camper ratio of 1:3 is provided to assure adequate supervision and that the needs and expectations of our campers are always met.
