Camp Fire Illinois Prairie (CFIP) is excited to announce the integration of Thrive{ology} into their Camp programming this summer!

What makes Thrive{ology} so excitingly special? THRIVE methods challenge the mind and body, and promote youth to find their inner passions, or “Sparks” that catalyze their personal growth. CFIP is leading social emotional activities that also build goal reaching skills.

This means, in addition to their regularly scheduled adventure programs like fishing, hiking, archery, crafts, and team building, CFIP will also be implementing Social Emotional Learning into their programs as well. Thrive{ology} helps youth to grow by providing them with Adult Champions or mentors who challenge growth, provide support, and expand possibilities for participants by instilling confidence, purpose, empathy, and other character traits into youth.
