Welcome Alumni
Alumni Camp
Whether it has been a year, a decade, or what feels to be a lifetime since your last Camp Kirby adventure, we know the magic and memories of camp stay alive in your heart forever. Relive the magic and join us for a camp dedicated to you, our supporters and community members who know who we are and what we do. Alumni Camp is an opportunity to reminisce on the history and culture of Camp Fire Samish & Camp Kirby with old and new friends alike. Witness the growth and progress of our council and camp grounds while immersing yourself in the nostalgia of timeless traditions.
Alumni Camp is a chance for past Camp Kirby staff and campers to connect and enjoy the camp of your dreams! Some of your favorite camp activities, like archery, will be open during your stay. There will also be organized cookouts, campfires, Council Fire, and so much more! You’re also welcome to explore camp on your own. All meals will be provided.

Camp Kirby Centennial
If you have been eager to reconnect with old camp friends, there is no better time to do so! Camp Kirby is celebrating its Centennial Celebration in 2023, a remarkable milestone for all of those who have contributed to the magic of camp. We encourage you to seek out alumni members who are longing to reignite their passion for Camp Kirby, or those who have made a long lasting impact on your life, to let them know about this historic celebration in the works. We are dedicated to honoring our alumni from all walks of life. Do you know an alumni who would be interested in Alumni Camp or Camp Kirby’s Centennial Celebration? Let us know! Email info@campfiresamish.org with their name or contact information and we will do the outreach for you.

We don’t want the nostalgia to end after Alumni Camp, so we have made it even easier to nurture your connections to old camp friends. To stay connected, sign up for our quarterly news letter to stay up to date on current programming, news, and events. Reach out to us at info@campfiresamish.org to share your stories and photos, exchange histories and memories, and relive the magic of camp and its long lasting impacts.
Endowment
A strong endowment ensures that there is an enduring source of funding for immediate and future needs. Endowments grow over time to create a legacy of learning as they extend the impact of your generosity beyond a lifetime. The larger a fund is, the more it can do each year to benefit youth.
