Executive Assistant

Who we are

With nature as our catalyst, Camp Fire Minnesota energizes youth to discover their spark so their futures glow brighter. Youth spend 90% of their time indoors – and that was before COVID‑19. Camp Fire Minnesota addresses this challenge by delivering culturally relevant, nature‑based programs onsite at our camp property in Excelsior and throughout the community to thousands of youth from all backgrounds each year.

We help youth “light their spark within” through summer and school break camps, environmental education & STEM classes for schools (in‑person and virtual), 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.

Camp Fire Minnesota envisions a future where every youth has access to nature‑based experiences and learning. Looking ahead, our organization’s 2024‑2026 Strategic Plan focuses on advancing our mission through a lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Central to our strategy is the active engagement of both youth and adults in co‑designing impactful experiences that center youth voices, giving them more power in decision‑making processes.

The plan includes three strategic goals: expanding community‑building efforts to involve a broader range of partners; infusing nature learning into all programs to promote environmental sustainability; and transparently sharing our organization’s journey, emphasizing our inclusive approach centered around youth experience and ideas.

Camp Fire believes in the dignity and the intrinsic worth of every human being. We welcome, affirm, and support young people and adults of all abilities and disabilities, experiences, races, ethnicities, socio‑economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, religion and non‑religion, citizenship and immigration status, and any other category people use to define themselves or others. We strive to create safe and inclusive environments that celebrate diversity and foster positive relationships.

All are welcome at Camp Fire.
