Camp Flame is hosted by Harrisonburg Unitarian Universalists. Our mission is to ignite the spirits of our youth through a community of radical inclusion, joyful discovery, and the transformative power of love! At Camp Flame, we don’t just talk about our values—we live them. Our name stands for the “sparks” that guide us:

• Friendship and Generosity: We practice friendship by sharing our time and kindness.

• Love at the Center: We create a safe, heart-led space for every camper.

• Always Growing: We embrace transformation and learning from mistakes.

• Many Paths: We celebrate the unique stories that make our community brighter.

• Everything is Connected: We care for the Earth and each other as part of a sacred web.

Campers in our inaugural 2026 evening program will enjoy group games, crafts, science experiments, nature exploration, and more! Children and families do not need to have previous experience with Unitarian Universalism to participate, and children from all faith traditions or none are welcome.

Please reach out to us if you would like more information! We look forward to having an amazing summer!

Kindle Kindness. Spark Justice. Shine Love.
