Fire Camp & Junior Fire Academy 2022

We are happy to announce the return of our annual Fire Camp & Junior Fire Academy for this summer. Our #1 priority will be the welfare of our cadets (campers) and we have developed a top quality program in keeping with COVID-19 safety & health precautions.

The Holiday Park Volunteer Fire Department each summer hosts a Fire Camp & Junior Fire Academy for youth 14 – 17 years of age who are interested in the Emergency Services fields whether as a career path or as volunteers.  A cadre of instructors and staff from the areas of Fire, Emergency Medical Services, and Law Enforcement provide the campers, or as we like to call them, cadets, a glimpse into their worlds and sample what it’s like to be in them.

Camp Dates

We will hold our fourth annual fire camp from June 20th to June 24th, 2022 with registration open starting January 10th.  The format will be similar to past years but with a few new surprises and skills for the cadets to experience. Camp is limited to 28 Cadets so we recommend registering as early as possible.

Camp Fees

$50.00 per camper which includes:
– Lunch & snacks for all five days
– Transportation to off-site training centers
– Two T-Shirts & Camp Bag (with surprises in it)
– Camp Gear & Supplies
