We need your help!
The Blandford-Blenheim Fire Department is proud to announce that we will be hosting Camp 85, a five-day youth fire service camp taking place in July 2026. This program is designed for young adults born between 2008 and 2012, with this year's focus dedicated to empowering young women to experience firefighting and skilled trades as accessible, rewarding, and impactful career paths within their communities.
The mission of Camp 85 is simple: to discover, educate, and empower the next generation of future fire professionals. Through hands-on learning, mentorship, and real-world exposure, participants will gain confidence, practical skills, and an understanding of the vital role the fire service plays in community safety.
The camp will be staffed entirely by our volunteer firefighters, who are committed to providing a safe, engaging, and educational experience. Camp 85 is offered at no cost to participants and is made possible through the generous support of community sponsors.
To maintain this amazing opportunity for our local youth, we are actively looking for sponsors!
Whether you sponsor as a individual or a company you will still receive a donation receipt.
Please share this post and help us ensure the continued growth of this truly outstanding program.
If you have any further questions or would like to make a donation, please reach out to any of your local firefighters or directly to Deputy Fire Chief, Michelle Van Wyk.
