Camp Fircom's mission is to create communities of belonging and experiences to grow on.
Camp Fircom began in 1923 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 newer facilities allows Fircom to offer the space to many types of rental groups (corporate retreats, outdoor schools, 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 at their camps and retreats. Their various Family Camps (including Dad&Kids, Mom&Kids) and Moms Retreat are some of the most popular programs.
