Roundtable is a “Youth Advisory Committee” that assists Camp Fire by representing the teens across all programs, assuming a leadership role within the council, being the voice of the teens served, and insuring that teen programs are relevant. Roundtable is a unique opportunity to learn committee, event management, and leadership skills, while making a real impact both at Camp Fire and in the community. Thanks in part to funding from Disney and Youth Serve America, Camp Fire is excited to announce that Roundtable is returning for 2019!
