Registration Open!
We are pleased to be offering our two programs for 10-12 year olds this March. Our two 12-14yo programs will be offered again this summer.
Participants often say we are the, “BEST CAMP EVER!” because we create a space of radical acceptance for girls to know, feel, see and express how amazing they are, just as they are, because they are! They can be real – about their joys and challenges – and be fully embraced and celebrated. Fire & Flower day camps are LGBTQ2SIAP+ inclusive and welcoming spaces.
Our 4 empowerment programs explore different themes and concepts related to young womanhood. In every camp, learning is balanced with a daily dose of nature time, games and relevant crafts for each program. We also hold heart circles each day, providing space for vulnerability and sharing what is on our hearts.


In this time of big change in girls’ lives, we also involve adult caregivers to promote connection and communication in these special relationships. We ask one parent/caregiver/special adult to join us on Friday afternoon for special activities. 12:30-3pm for our 10-12 program; 1-3:30pm for our 12-14 program.
Please note: We will be following Covid requirements set out by the community centre. Anyone ages 5 and up must wear a mask indoors. People with mask exemptions must contact the centre before registering to ensure their reason for exemption falls under the exemption list. Unmasked participants will have to maintain at least 2 metres distance. Everyone 12 years and older must show proof of vaccination including parents/caregivers who will join us on Friday afternoons.
Our camps are named after birds of the Pacific Northwest to honour their relevance and symbolism to the Coast Salish peoples on whose unceded land we base our operations.
