what to expect

Camp Details

Camp Ignite is traditionally a four-day overnight camp that educates and inspires young women to follow their dreams. We aim to show our campers  a future of limitless opportunities and demonstrate  that anything is possible.


The camp is open to girls in grades 11-12 (ages 15-18 ) living in British Columbia. Our camp offers an introduction to the  exciting world of firefighting.  As well, each participant will learn about fitness, nutrition, health and teamwork.


We are a not-for-profit society and strive to keep the camp affordable and accessible to those interested.

Activities

We offer our campers the chance to explore the many aspects and specialties associated with firefighting.


They will get an opportunity to try auto-extrication, hazmat operations, technical rope rescue operations and learn about the various tools and skills needed to be successful in the fire service.

Team Building

Camp Ignite places a huge emphasis on team building through fun team activities. Participants will practice communication, coordination and execution of tasks in a fun and creative way. 


Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment that utilizes the unique strengths of each individual.
