A Message from the President . . .

As a member of a “Camp Fire Family,” it was a privilege to serve as President of the Board of Directors during Camp Fire’s Centennial year – a milestone for the

organization and an opportunity to showcase Green Country Council’s history of service to children and families throughout northeastern Oklahoma.

A partnership with the Oklahoma Conference on Community & Justice (OCCJ) launched our year of celebration with Camp Fire, co-sponsoring the annual Trialogue Series focusing on religion and youth from a variety of faith traditions. In March, we held the first of several council-wide events – the “official” Camp Fire Birthday featured a 100-Hour Campfire, Vintage Camp Days, and a Festival of Fires at the conclusion of Absolutely Incredible Kid Day.

The celebration continued with Grand Council Fire in the spring, a council-sponsored Day of Service, and “Benches & S’More,” a Centennial fundraising event launching the Camp Fire exhibit hosted by the Tulsa Historical Society. In July, we joined with councils across the nation in lighting our Centennial Campfire, an event that featured alumni from the last seven decades sharing their Camp Fire memories.

In the fall, we partnered with the Mental Health Association’s Zarrow Symposium to feature topics and speakers pertinent to Positive Youth Development and Youth Asset-building.

Centennial celebrations culminated in a holiday event for board members, alumni and staff, highlighted by the launch of the Council’s legacy society, the “Guardians of the Fire,” recognizing those who have made future gifts to the organization’s endowment through their estate planning.

In addition to celebrating 100 years of Camp Fire, a number of other accomplishments advanced program effectiveness and administrative capacity.

Through strategically concentrated efforts, we served more kids in more locations through new and established partnerships with schools, the Tulsa Housing Authority and other community-based agencies, including Street School and the Tulsa County Juvenile Bureau. Program service staff operationalized the nationally-recognized, evidence-based Youth Program Quality Intervention as a means of assessing and continuously improving point-of-service effectiveness. Resident camp services introduced two new summer sessions at Camp Waluhili – Native Youth Preventing Diabetes, and a gluten-free week.

Administratively, staff developed and tested a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan, established a staff-led wellness effort, and the Board of Directors approved the Executive Succession Plan and launched a new Strategic Plan effort.

2010 also afforded the opportunity to celebrate 60 years of outdoor programming at Camp Waluhili. Camping alumni gathered for a special weekend of family activities that included dedicating major renovations to the swimming pool. At Camp Okiwanee in Sapulpa, TAUW Day of Caring and other volunteers helped expand our waterfront programming with a new road and launch for kayaks and canoes.

It was a busy, fun and productive year – energizing our youth, their families, the staff, volunteers and Board of Directors, to renew our commitment to the vision of making Camp Fire USA Green Country Council the leading provider of quality youth development services in northeastern Oklahoma.

A Message from the Executive Director . . .

Camp Fire’s Centennial provided wonderful opportunities to celebrate and reflect on the organization’s rich history of service to children, their

families and communities throughout the United States. Now, however, we face the task of launching the effort to ensure a second century of service – and that feels like an awesome responsibility.

When Camp Fire was established in 1910, the founders and their associates represented social reformers from the fields of education, health and the early human services – men and women concerned about the plight of children from immigrant and disadvantaged families, many consigned to poverty-ridden urban areas without access to clean air, healthy foods, safe playgrounds or regular physical activity. Their mission was to provide the same opportunities and experiences as those enjoyed by children of privilege in the middle and upper classes.

Not unlike Camp Fire’s mission today – ensuring that all girls and boys, regardless of their family’s circumstances, have the chance to participate in a wide range of activities and programs that foster their capacity to become caring, confident, competent and connected adults. What a privilege to be part of a movement that takes responsibility for filling the gap between what children need and what their families can provide!

So, as we look to advancing Camp Fire into the second century, we gladly accept the challenge of building and growing a sustainable organization – engaging and satisfying not only those who participate, but also those who so generously invest in the effort.

At the same time, we’re cognizant that the services we provide must be relevant to the needs of today’s youth. This requires that we balance traditional programming elements with things like social media, technology and other digital advances and, at the same time, help prepare participants for 21st century careers and civic engagement.

A big order – especially when you think about how fast the world is changing. I recently heard Joseph Pelton, Director of the Space and Advanced Communications Research Institute, talk about what we can expect to see in the field of space exploration. He talked about a “space elevator,” a device for delivering equipment and supplies to vehicles and habitats orbiting the earth, and the fact that with our increasing need for batteries, the best location for mining lithium would be the moon!

With technological innovation advancing at an amazing rate, and the fields of science and business continuously moving forward, we’re fortunate that the field of youth development is experiencing professional development as well. Through connections at the state and national level, we have access to the latest knowledge, research and theories of practice impacting our work.

Equipped with these tools from the premier youth development thinkers in the country, backed up by a hundred years of accomplishment, and armed with a deep desire and commitment to meet the needs of all youth, we feel up to the challenge. Our work, however, cannot advance without the strong and ongoing support of individuals, groups and funding partners who invest in Camp Fire.

We salute you for your support and pledge to continue our efforts to conduct programming based in sound theory, delivered through quality practices grounded in research and geared to achieve youth outcomes that produce caring, confident youth and future leaders.

On behalf of youth,

Bobbie Walker HendersonExecutive Director

ClubsPre-K through 12th Grade clubs meet weekly and revolve around Camp Fire’s educational, outcome-based curriculum. Boys and girls learn how to play together, work together, and appreciate their similarities and differences in a constructive and positive manner. Clubs allow youth to make new friends, build confidence and self-esteem, and earn awards and emblems, while participating in outdoor activities, arts and crafts, family activities, and community service. Community Family ClubsClubs meet year-round to focus on family strengthening—bringing together youth, their families, and other caring adults for potlucks, field trips, meetings, and activity nights. Participating adults are trained as leaders, so youth complete the standard age-level Camp Fire curriculum. Groups are uniquely suited for partnerships with churches, schools, afterschool programs, community service organizations, and businesses. Teens-in-ActionMiddle and high school service-learning groups meet weekly to explore social issues and problems, design and carry out service initiatives, then reflect on the outcome of their efforts and celebrate their accomplishments. Camping & Outdoors Year-round camping, outdoor education, and adventure programs provide children and families additional opportunities for learning and growing together. Throughout summer, day camps are offered at Camp Tookaboochee in Tulsa and at Camp Okiwanee in Sapulpa. Summer resident camp is offered at Camp Waluhili, on Fort Gibson Lake, near Wagoner.
