Camp Fircom
Summer Address:
Summer camp at Fircom gives kids and adults alike a chance to form an energetic and thriving community, and connect with our caring staff. They develop skills in traditional camp activities like archery, canoeing, campcraft, and arts, but are also given a chance to hone their special interests (such as local cooking or performing arts). Time for reflection and spiritual development is built into each day, and every camper is involved in our commitment to enviornmental stewardship through farming and zero waste practices.
