Fire Mountain Scout Camp

Fire Mountain Scout Camp is a premier Scout camping facility in Northwest Washington State. Nestled in the forested foothills of the North Cascades, Fire Mountain has been hosting Scouting Adventure for nearly 50 years. 

From mid-June to mid-August, Fire Mountain will host approximately 1500 Scouts of all ages for resident summer camp. The rest of the year, a wide variety of council- and district-sponsored programs, Scout unit camping trips, and non-Scouting programs and organizations fill nearly every weekend. 

Notable facilities at Fire Mountain include: 

  • Hollander Hall – our dining hall seats up to 350 people comfortably, with a commercial kitchen to help feed hungry guests. 
  • Sevenich Campfire Bowl – this amphitheater space can seat up to 400 people with a large stage and a scenic lakefront view. 
  • Challenge Course and zipline – with nearly a dozen low elements, an expansive high course, and the longest dual-zipline in Washington State, participants engage in team-building, learn leadership skills, and challenge themselves to step into thin air for a heck of a ride. 
  • Shooting Ranges – our 4 ranges can host everything from BB guns and throwing axes to .22 rifles and shotgun trap shooting. The cowboy action range gives participants a taste of Wild West skills that will put some giddy-up in their step. 
  • Lake Challenge – Scenic 37-acre Lake Challenge offers opportunity for fishing, swimming, and boating. Our fleet of canoes, kayaks, sailboats, and paddle boards are ready to launch your adventure! 

Campsites at Fire Mountain boast two types of shelters: 

  • Adirondack Cabins have 3 walls, a canvas door, a window (in most models) and 4 sets of bunk beds, sleeping 8 individuals with plenty of space. (Top bunks not recommended for Cub Scouts,) They also have an attached shelter with a large picnic table. 
  • Steel-roofed Tents – “stents” – are smaller structures built on a classic wall tent footprint. They have 3 walls, a canvas door, a window and 1 or 2 sets of bunks, sleeping 2 or 4 individuals. In most campsites, clusters of 3 or 4 stents are built around a standalone shelter with a large picnic table. 

Individual campsites can host from 18 to 52 guests, with most holding close to 30. Total capacity of the camp is nearly 500 individuals in shelters, with a further 50 in traditional roofed housing.

Camp Use Policy Back to Top

Please Read The Following Camp Policy:

  1. Upon arrival, your group’s leader must check-in with the Camp Ranger or the Volunteer Camp Host at Knoll Lodge (inside the gate on the north end of the upper parking lot).  Return of security deposit is dependent on completion of check in AND check out with the Camp Host or Camp Ranger.
     All vehicles must remain in designated parking lot and parking areas. The use of vehicles to transport equipment to campsites is discouraged. Overnight parking of vehicles at campsites or at the Dining Hall is not permitted.  Units are encouraged to coordinate/consolidate the transportation of gear to their assigned campsite in order to minimize the number of vehicles entering camp.  The Camp Ranger or Camp Host may limit the number of vehicles entering a campsite at any one time in order to minimize off road parking.  All vehicles used to transport equipment to a campsite are to be removed as soon as the equipment is off loaded.  Scouts BSA troops are encouraged to have the Scouts walk to the campsite with their backpacks.  
  2. Camp Hours.  For the safety of those in camp, the camp’s main gate will be locked between the hours of 9PM and 7AM.  Your group and/or your individual families must arrive at camp before 9PM (late arrivals will not be able to  access camp after 9PM).  Camp Quiet Hours are between 10PM and 7AM.
  3. Upon departure, your group’s leader must check-out with the Camp Ranger or the Volunteer Camp Host.
  4. Firewood is available for your use from the woodsheds but it will need to be chopped.  Each campsite has an axe yard – you will need to bring your own axe.  The cutting of trees or brush is not permitted.  When you leave camp, please stack the unused firewood under the benches so it will be dry for the next group to use.
  5. Fishing is allowed only in the designated fishing areas which includes the northwest and south dikes and the multiple fishing docks.  No fishing is allowed in the swimming and boating areas or from the swimming and boating docks.  There is a 2 fish limit for youth and a 1 fish limit for adults (adults must fish with youth).  There is no catching and releasing of fish – you catch it, you keep it!  Please do not clean fish in the campsites or at the water’s edge!   Fish guts attract unwanted wildlife in to camp.  The fish cleaning station is located on the outside wall on the north side of Hollander Hall/Dining Hall.
  6. Any damage to buildings or campsites (including the discharge of fire extinguishers) is the responsibility of the group and your group will be billed for repairs and/or replacements.
  7. Swimming and boating activities are allowed only under the guidelines of BSA’s Guide to Safe Scouting and Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat.  The camp’s swimming areas are closed during the Off-Season because we have no life-guard on duty.  NO swimming is permitted in moving water.  No outside boats, canoes or kayaks can be brought in to camp and used on the lake.  
  8. All open flames, including charcoal, must be kept a minimum of ten (10) feet from any structure.
  9. All liquid fuels must be kept in clearly marked containers and locked in a secure storage area, a minimum of twenty (20) feet from all buildings, tents and fires.
  10. All garbage/trash is to be removed from your campsite and taken with you when you leave camp or your group will be charged a garbage/trash removal fee.  We have no garbage/trash removal at camp during the Off-Season so you need to take your group’s garbage/trash home with you.
  11. Your group is responsible for making sure all camp fires are completely extinguished before leaving camp. Remember…if it is too hot to touch, it is too hot to leave.
  12. Dishwashing must be done in your group’s designated campsite.  Do not wash dishes at the hose bibs/spigots or in the lake.
  13. NO unauthorized firearms or weapons, including pellet guns, or fireworks of any type, are allowed in camp.
  14. 5 MPH (miles per hour) is the speed limit on all camp roads.
  15. No pets are allowed in camp.
  16. No alcoholic beverages or drugs are allowed on camp property.  No smoking is allowed on camp property, except in the designated smoking area which is the inside of a smoker’s vehicle.

 

Check In Procedure Back to Top

GUEST CHECK-IN PROCEDURES 

On arrival at Fire Mountain, please drive through the main gate and find a space in the parking lot. Before your group unloads and enters camp, please check in with the Camp Host at Knoll Lodge.  If the camp host is not at Knoll Lodge, please call the number on the whiteboard in the window of Knoll Lodge. 

Knoll Lodge is located at the end of the Welcome Trail, which begins at the north end of the parking lot (look for the bulletin board!). To check-in, you will need a group roster with: 

  • accurate Adult and Youth participant counts – note that you can use the “tear-off” portion from your confirmation email 
  • contact numbers for the adult leaders of your group 

During check-in you will: 

  • review key policies for the weekend – including emergency signals and procedures 
  • receive the Campsite Review Form – this form must be completed once you arrive at your campsite and returned promptly to the Camp Host. 

Once checked-in, you can begin moving into your campsite. Each campsite has 2 wagons assigned for its use, and this is the preferred method for moving extra gear to your campsite. If needed, the Camp Host may allow you to use ONE VEHICLE to move extra gear into the campsite. This is also a good time to return your Campsite Review Form.

Camp speed limit is 5 MPH, be aware of pedestrians at all times, and drive safely. 

Please unload your vehicle immediately and promptly return it to the parking lot. In compliance with county regulations – and keeping roads open for emergency access - no vehicles may be parked outside of the parking lot for any reason. 

Violation of Camp Parking and Vehicle policies can result in EXPULSION from camp.

PLEASE NOTE: 

Any damages found during the check-out review will be billed to your account.

If your group does not leave the campsite in a clean and tidy state, a cleaning fee will be assessed.

Failure to check-out with the Camp Host will result in the loss of your security deposit.
