About Camp Fire Minnesota
With nature as our catalyst, we energize youth to discover their spark so their futures glow brighter.
Youth spend 90% of their time indoors. Camp Fire Minnesota addresses this challenge by delivering culturally relevant, nature-based programs to youth of all backgrounds at Tanadoona, Camp Bluewater, and throughout the community. We help youth “light their spark within” through summer camp, environmental education & STEM classes for schools, and community-based out-of-school time nature programs.
We are proud to offer inclusive and welcoming programs to youth in the community, including free and reduced rate programs and a scholarship program. As a result of their Camp Fire experience, 93% of youth report valuing nature and stewarding the environment.
Our 2021 summer camp at Tanadoona in Chanhassen is expected to serve more than 2,800 youth this year. This program offers youth and teens progressive, nature-based learning through day, premium day, and leadership development camps. (Due to COVID-19, we are not offering our Resident Camp programs this year but expect these to return in 2022). Tanadoona is an ACA accredited camp.
