We Need Volunteers!
Join us at Illinois Prairie and lend a hand.
Camp Fire Illinois Prairie is proudly run entirely by volunteers. Every hike, craft, campfire, and learning opportunity is made possible through the time and dedication of caring community members. To provide children with the best programming, we depend on many kinds of volunteers—group leaders, event organizers, behind-the-scenes planners, parent helpers, and supporters who share their unique talents. It truly takes a village, and every contribution, big or small, helps create meaningful experiences and lasting memories for our kids.
