Work, Health, and Love: What is Work?

At Camp Fire, we have a guiding slogan: “Work, Health, Love.” These values are central to the Camp Fire mission, and they can be interpreted in many meaningful ways. Today, we’d like to take a closer look at “Work.”

For many Camp Fire alumni and campers, “Work” represents service, giving back to your community or volunteering your time, basically any action that serves to better yourself and the world around you.

One of the ways Camp Fire Georgia brings this value to life is through our off-season work weekends. These days are dedicated to caring for camp and preparing it for the next season, and we recently had an incredible turnout for our final work weekend before summer!

Representatives from our sponsor Community Bank and Trust joined alumni and staff alike to dewinterize the Yoki cabins, clear three trails, and do some spring cleaning. In all, eighteen people and one dog volunteered their Saturday to better a summer camp that has given so much to so many! We topped it all off with some hot dogs off the grill, courtesy of our Camp Director, Chuck.

You are what make this organization go 'round. THANK YOU!
