Camps

[babygirl2882]

So I'm wondering if anyone knows anything Camp Fully Involved

I saw it on the Firehouse.com board and got really interested. I would like to further my experience as much as I can and these seem awesome!!

It will be an interesting experience to test my limits and find out what I can do. I'm going to send in my application this week and I have already talked to the director about scholarships for travel (I live in Oregon and its in Manchester) because my dad is out of work because of a medical condition. I hope to ask family and friends for donations and all....umm I'm rambling again... so ya...any thoughts would be welcome!!

You should consider Camp Blaze. Same kind of thing as Fully Involved except it's free. It's also in Washington so getting there would be much easier for you.

Ya I was thinking about that...but its not until Jan 2009 so if I don't get into these then? If I get in and all I may be have a scholarship for the transportation and then I just have to bug family/friends.

I have been looking into a lot of camps:

• Camp Inferno

• Cadets need to secure their own transportation to the Overland Park Fire Training Center.
• Beyond the $25 application fee, Camp Inferno is held at no cost to the cadets.

Wow! Too bad the summer camp where I work doesn't have that. If you have the chance, do it!

Wow. I didn't even realize these things existed. These are great camps... I wish I'd known about the ones that allowed men when I was in the right age range.

Ahhh....but Jon...you are now in the position to be a Camp Counselor B)

These are neat. I wish I could get my daughter intrested in something like this......and have one closer to home.

 

[babygirl2882]

Ya...I really wish people were as cool about them as you are.

I found out about them from the firehouse forum...and people immediately started fighting...I was trying to back myself up but pulled out...

Whoa they really jumped down your throat!!! That's sad.

I think the reasons these camps should exist is simple: because people have a desire to run them and girls have the desire to attend. Boys are not being denied anything by the existence of these camps.

Can I give that quote to them?

Haha go ahead. I already responded too. I'm ArapahoeSnR. That guy is just plain-out nuts though. He seriously needs psychiatric help or something.
