Camp Hornets Nest (for boys)

Charlotte Fire Department is excited to announce that the application period for Camp Ignite (girls only)  & Camp Hornets Nest (boys only) is NOW OPEN!! Registration is open to all high schoolers in Charlotte and the surrounding areas! The application period will be closing on April 15th.

During their 4-night, 5-day stay, campers learn skills associated with search and rescue techniques, hose-line advancement, rappelling, ladders, and much more.

Camp Hornets Nest welcomes boys in grades 9-12. Through this program, we provide high school boys with the opportunity to learn more about careers in firefighting. The program teaches teamwork, responsibility, and leadership. Activities in the program will demonstrate that participants must work as a team to succeed.

Both Camp Ignite and Camp Hornet’s Nest are FREE, eliminating any financial obstacles to participate, and that’s why we are asking for your support. Operating these camps takes a significant investment from our department. Contributions of any amount are welcomed and sincerely appreciated.
