Camp Fircom

Camp Fircom's mission is to create communities of belonging and experiences to grow on. Camp Fircom began as an outreach program in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, Canada's poorest neighbourhood and was developed by the First Presbyterian Church (the forerunner of First United Church) and Community Services (the forerunner of Social Services). The name came from these two institutions: FIR from "First" and COM from “Community” The new facilities allowed Fircom to offer the space to corporate groups and weddings. These rental groups have in turn supported the mission of offering accessible summer camp programs. Fircom has a growing, dedicated group of campers through exceptional programming such as our renewable energy systems and organic farm.
