Camp Blaze is a firefighting camp — for girls! The 16- to 19-year-olds who are accepted spend a week at the Fire Training Academy in North Bend, Washington learning firefighting skills. The camp is free and women firefighters from many states donate their time as instructors. The young women are pushed physically as they put out car fires wearing heavy gear. They climb ladders, rappel out of buildings, and learn CPR. There’s also time for typical camp activities like putting on skits. Camp Blaze provides a unique and intense team and confidence building opportunity.
