Youth Career Exploration Camp

The 2021 Youth Career Exploration Camp hosted by Denver Fire Department was held July 28th to July 30th, 2021 at the Training Center. The Exploration Camp allows young adults to learn, experience, and recognize the possibilities of a future career as a Denver firefighter. Campers participated in hands-on simulated emergency fire and rescue situations, while earning certificates in first-aid and CPR. The mission is to instill participants with team building and leadership skills, along with valuable life lessons, while having fun. The hope is to inspire the participants to consider working as a Denver Firefighter after their high school and college careers. The Career Exploration Camp was a three, seven-hour sessions dedicated to introducing local youth to the life of a firefighter with the Denver Fire Department. Denver firefighters helped attendees build a sense of teamwork, responsibility and career awareness during the camp. Additional information provided by Greg Pixley / Denver Fire Department
