Camp Fire Inland Northwest wants to help as many youth as they can to find their spark at Camp Dart-Lo and Camp Sweyolakan! Camperships are provided for families who are financially unable to pay the full fee. Camperships are funded by the Henry Day Neewahlu Trust and Camp Fire Inland Northwest's donors. Thank you so much for your support!
