Camp Fire USA Iowana Council is partnering with Seed Savers, a Decorah, IA non-profit that promotes heirloom gardening, for a health-conscious fundraising project!

40% of the price of each heirloom seed collection sold by
Camp Fire USA Iowana Council & Camp Hitaga volunteers will go toward supporting our council and camp programs.

You can help by buying seeds, and by selling seeds to your friends and family.
Whether you are an experienced gardener or this would be your first time
growing vegetables or flowers from seeds, join us in the adventure!

March 15

Absolutely Incredible Kid Day

Camp Fire USA encourages all parents, grand-parents, neighbors and fiends to join in this national effort to make all kids feel special. On March 15, make an extra special effort to tell any and all kids in your life just how incredible and amazing they are! Write encouraging notes, cards or letters to the special kids in your life and slip them into their lunch boxes, under their pillows or hand them to them in person. Putting your praise into writing allows the kids to hang onto those encouraging words, and return to them for inspiration and guidance for years to come.
