	Club Programs Camp Fire USA Program Philosophy Five essential elements derived from the mission statement and core values drive every program we offer: 1. We are youth-centered. 2. We engage the entire family in fun and outcome-rich activities. 3. We are welcoming and inclusive. 4. We build youth and adult partnerships. 5. We provide service to others. Clubs may be traditional or non-traditional in scope but both emphasize a broad spectrum of progressive skill-building and leadership development.    In Camp Fire clubs, youth meet with trained adult volunteers on a regular basis to have fun, make new friends, develop their self-esteem, encourage environmental awareness, express their creativities, learn about the future,   learn citizenship and leadership skills in small groups while learning about their family and community.  Boys and  girls, older youth and adults share in this meaningful experience. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starflight-kindergarten, 1st & 2nd grades       The Starflight program is designed primarily for children in kindergarten, first and second grade but interested older children could participate as well.  The program is organized by levels: K-Trail is the entry Trail Starters is the first level Trail Explorations is the second level Levels often correspond with grades, but can by used according to a group or individual child's ability level.
