Camp Fire Golden Empire, founded in 1939, is the Northern California council of Camp Fire USA.

Camp Fire USA has actively engaged youth and teens in building essential skills for life for more than 100 years. We’re proud of our heritage of cultivating community building, supporting academic readiness, and embracing diversity.

Camp Fire Golden Empire proudly owns and operates Camp Gold Hollow on Lake Vera in Nevada City, California. This is the hub of our programming and stewarding this land and property is a key part of how we serve youth, families, and alumni!
