In Camp Fire USA, everyone is welcome, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic status, disability, sexual orientation or other aspect of diversity.
We are inclusive and open to every person in each community we serve. We work to realize the dignity and worth of each individual and to eliminate human barriers
based on all assumptions that prejudge individuals. In addition, our program standards are designed and implemented to reduce sex-role, racial and cultural stereotypes
and to foster positive intercultural relationships.
