Horizon Program

The Horizon program is for those young adults in grades ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth.  The program will help carry out the goal of helping young people "realize their potential," they will find a focus on goal-setting and planning for the future.  There is also an opportunity to build specific skills and to develop positive feelings about themselves and what they have to contribute to society.

The Horizon program will help young people become "caring, self-directed individuals responsible to themselves and to others" involves service, leadership, advocacy, decision making, goal setting, pride in personal accomplishments, and a concern for others and the environment. 

There are four "reflections" that a member must complete throughout their four years as a Horizon member.  They are as follows:

Celebrate Me - focuses on how special the young people are and includes highlights on self-esteem, service and leadership.

Choices and Decisions - includes highlights on labels, relationships and parenting.

Mapping My Way - includes highlights on career and employment issues.

Making it on My Own - includes highlights on money, moving out, drinking and drug-related issues.

The Horizon member may choose to also complete the requirements for the Wohelo award.  The Wohelo award is the highest award a Camp Fire USA member can achieve.
