2019 CAMP IGNITE PROGRAM - Firefighter Camp for High School Girls

The District of North Vancouver Fire & Rescue Services is proud to be sponsoring one high school girl to participate in this year’s Camp Ignite program.

This year’s Camp will run from August 8-11, 2019 in the Vancouver area.
The Camp is open to girls in grades 11 through 12 (ages 16 - 18).
Application deadline is June 1, 2019.

This is a FREE four day camp mentorship program where young women get to explore the career of firefighting with fun hands-on skills activities, team work, and employment mentorship in general. All meals and activity fees, if any, are included. We visit fire halls in the lower mainland each day for activities and stay in housing at Simon Fraser University for the three nights. We are always gratified to see the smiles and excitement when each girl masters each task. And they do!  The girls have access to many professional emergency services personnel including fire, ambulance and specialty services such as meeting Lola, a trauma therapy dog. Lastly, each student will leave the program with certificates in Fire Extinguisher Training, CPR and a certificate of completion. This is all great for resume building.

Please come to Room 203 for applications.
