On March 17 Camp Fire will mark its 69th birthday with nationwide singing of Happy Birthday. The organization began in 1910 as Camp Fire Girls and later allowed boys to participate. It now counts 750,000 members with clubs in over 35,000 cities and towns.
The Camp Fire tradition continues with outdoor camping and updated programs. New features include Drop In centers for after school, an I Can Do It plan teaching self care for children, and short term or year round activities such as museum visits and ice skating trips.
Dr. Luther Gulick and Charlotte Gulick founded Camp Fire at a Maine camp named WoHeLo. WoHeLo, meaning Work Health and Love, became the movement's watchword. Camp Fire clubs include Blue Birds for grades 1-3, Adventure Club for 4-6, Discovery Club for 7-8, and Horizon Club for 9-12.
