Camp Fire's Horizon Program
Horizon: 9th through 12th grade Youth
The Program
The Horizon program is designed for youth in high school. The Camp Fire USA Horizon program is different for each member. At this level, teens are encouraged to participate in the activities as individual members or with their club members. In the Horizon program, teens are given the opportunity to create and build their own horizons, or futures. "Highlight" activities are designed to examine ideas, values, morals and experiences. Four "Reflection" projects provide focus for teens on self, choices and decisions, future goals and planning, and self-reliance skills. Teens typically begin working toward the WoHeLo Award in Horizon.
