Camp Fire Self Reliance Programs are carefully targeted workshops in which young people learn to handle threats to their safety and security, and to take care of themselves.  Our Self Reliance Programs provide children with:

1. Group interaction where there can be learning from peers,
2. Guidance from trained instructors,
3. Opportunities to practice the skills learned, and
4. Parental involvement in direct and indirect ways.

The courses, presented in 45-60 minute workshops over a period of days or weeks, are presented to schools and community groups through out the North Shore of Massachusetts and beyond.
