Wildfire

Wildfire is a coed high adventure based program geared to challenge each participant as an individual.  Participants are also part of a team.  Under the watchful eyes and inspections of trained Wildfire Rangers, they learn the importance of performing equipment safety checks on themselves and the team members within the group.  They learn to understand the importance of encouragement, reliability, dependability and trust, both of themselves and their teammates.  Shared and individual responsibilities are stressed.

Wildfire Rangers are trained in First Aid and CPR.  A BSA Guard is available for all aquatic activities.  A National Camp School certified Climbing and Rappelling Director and certified Instructors are used for all climbing and rappelling activities.  A certified COPE director and instructors are provided for all COPE activities.
