Why Camp Fireside?
Christ-centered, Safe & Affordable
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Our Story
How it Started
Since 1952, Camp Fireside has been a place where children across New England encounter the life-changing message of the Gospel in a safe, encouraging environment. For generations, we have partnered with parents, churches, and communities to help nurture faith, character, and meaningful relationships.
What We Do
Our programs are designed to support families by guiding children toward strong Christian values while encouraging healthy growth in mind, body, and spirit. Through intentional teaching, positive role models, and time spent building friendships, Camp Fireside seeks to help each child develop a balanced life rooted in biblical truth.
Where We're Headed
Our campers come from 11 neighboring communities around Barrington, making Camp Fireside an accessible and convenient choice for families. Because most of our programs are offered during the day, we recognize that commute time matters to parents, and we strive to serve families within a reasonable travel distance. As we look ahead, we are excited to expand our ministry by offering more overnight programs in the near future, creating additional opportunities for meaningful experiences and deeper growth.
