The mission of the CCFD Girls Camp is to introduce young adults, ages 13-18, to a career in public safety. The program is designed to provide individuals with a realistic hands-on introduction to firefighting and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) skills. Over the course of two days, campers will learn how to wear personal protective equipment, climb ladders, pull fire hose, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and more. Each student will be supervised by firefighters in a safe and physically challenging environment, with an emphasis on building self-confidence and fortitude.
The CCFD Girls Camp is a free two-day day camp. All teens, ages 13-18, are welcome to attend. Participants must register in advance.
