Get Ready for Your Northwoods Trip

Remember: we start and end at camp, so check in at Camp Fire as you would for any other camp session.

• Check-in: Sunday, 3:00–4:00pm
• Friday Closing Ceremony starts at 3:00pm – you and guests are welcome and invited to join us!
• Check-out: Friday, 3:30–3:45pm

Learn more about check-in & check-out and more on our Camp Resources page here!

Wondering what to bring on your trip? View packing lists here!

Log in to your Active Network account to complete the following items if you haven’t already:

• Finalize registration & health forms
• Approve waivers
• Add authorized pick-ups
• Pay outstanding balances

If your camper takes medication, please bring a completed Request to Administer Medication at Camp form on the first day (blank forms will also be available at camp).

We use the app FunFangle for our camp store, which allows families to add camp store money to their camper’s account, see their camper’s balance, and even donate remaining funds to camp if desired.

The camp store will feature snacks ($1-3 each) and souvenirs like hats, hoodies, t-shirts, stuffed animals, water bottles, and more ($3-35 each). See the items we will have available here.

You should have received an invitation via email to create a FunFangle account. If you’ve already created an account, you can login to deposit money for the camp store here. If you have not yet created an account and can’t find your invitation email:

• Visit https://campfiremn.funfangle.camp/
• Click “I am a First-Time User”.
• Enter the same email address you used to register for camp. This will send the invitation email again.

Please note: There is not a photographer on Northwoods trips. Trip leaders will do their best to document the week, but photos may be limited.

Be sure to download your favorite photos as the Google Photos link will only be available through the end of the summer camp season.

As one supporter put it – “Kids need joy.”

You see firsthand the impact access to nature and an inclusive community can have on campers. For many, camp can be a life-changing experience – and we need your help to make it possible for more kids. Please consider supporting our scholarship fund: campfiremn.org/donate/
