Enrollment Information

Enrollment is always FREE

*Girl's Future Firefighter Camp is offered 3-4 times a year 

during 3-Day weekend trainings or full-week summer camps.

We provide young ladies, ages 13-18, with a pathway to careers in public safety.

“It is so important to give back to the community. The idea that women are not capable of long-lasting careers in the fire service, or any field of public safety is just not true! It is my hope that as we build confidence in 

these young ladies, they will learn that they can be leaders in their homes, schools 

and careers. This camp was created to remove the myths about what we do as firefighters as well as open 

young women's eyes to a bright future in public safety careers. 

I must let these girls know that they are strong, confident, 

and brave, and yes, they can be ANYTHING they want to be!” 

-Captain Shelly Carter, Director

Who We Are

* Girl's Future Firefighter Camp has been in operation since its establishment in 2015. We are proud to continue our mission with even more to offer our girls. For example, we are collaborating with the Rocky Hill Fire Department and their Training Division to expand our hands-on training 

to include real-life firefighting equipment. 

* Girl's Future Firefighter Camp is comprised of amazing women (and a few amazing men) who are currently working in (or retired from) the fire service and other public safety careers. 

Training is coordinated through the exceptional direction of Retired Operations Chief Christina Burkert.

   * We stand united in our commitment that young ladies will receive guidance from highly trained and certified instructors. We believe that the seeds we plant in them during their camp experience builds self-pride and self-confidence and will grow into awesome careers and futures--not just for themselves, but for other young ladies to come! Our instructors' training, plus parental involvement, contributes to our campers' achievements and our community's quality of life.
