Our Why
Chapel Hill High School has one of the few programs in the state that prepares high school students for a career in public safety. This program was created to give everyone an equal opportunity to expore what the fire service offered and to see if this was a good path for the students after high school. We have paired up with our local fire departments to identify staffing needs with the intent of developing our young adults into career ready professionals.
It is no secret that women are underrepresented in the fire service. This camp looks to focus on young women and their ambitions to see what is out there. Along side of female firefighters, these young women will have opportunites to learn the skills of being a firefighter, ask questions about the profession, build teamwork and leadership abilities, all while having a great time with friends in a safe atmosphere.
