The Glenham Fire District Junior Fire Academy is a free week-long summer camp for school-aged children (grades 4-8) interested in joining the fire service one day. This camp is a great opportunity for kids to build a sense of teamwork and responsibility by working with their local firefighters. We accept applications for the Junior Fire Academy from children who are going into grades 4 - 8 for the 2024-20254 school year.

This camp is designed to be fun, challenging, entertaining, and educational. We want the children to learn safety lessons about things around their homes and schools that they encounter every day. They will have short periods of lectures and lessons each day followed by opportunities to actively participate in exercises designed to reinforce what they have been taught. Camp activities will focus on what it's like to be a firefighter as well as other fire/life safety topics like search and rescue, fire extinguishers, and first aid. Attendees will be divided into teams, which will operate as a “fire company” for all of their activities. Each child will get the opportunity to be the “company officer” for a day. Leadership principles will be taught to each child directly and indirectly.
