For the past year, Ivonne Valentin has spent time each week with the kids at Camp Fire’s After School program at Jackson Elementary. In this time, she has not only given of herself, but encouraged Creighton University’s Soccer Team, which she coaches, to do so as well. It is because of her time and dedication that the kids at Jackson have had the opportunity to attend Creighton soccer games, receive jerseys, and have positive role models in their lives while at Camp Fire.

The 2008 Designer Showhouse is a collaboration between metroMAGAZINE and the Omaha Chapter of The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) which creates an opportunity to benefit local charities while affording selected ASID member interior designers to display their talents. Not only does the Showhouse provide Camp Fire with the opportunity to showcase our innovative programs and create more awareness of our mission to build caring, confident youth and future leaders, Camp Fire will also be paid for every volunteer hour we provide to staff the event during the week of April 26 - May 2. Shifts are available morning, afternoon and evening for both individuals and groups.
For more information about how to get your group involved with Camp Fire and the Designer Showhouse, contact Nick Brotzel at 397-5809 or nbrotzel@campfireomaha.org.

Skyline Elementary’s 4th Grade Student Council presented Camp Fire with a gift of $1,187 early this year. The group organized a movie night - complete with a raffle - to raise funds and ensure that kids in our community have access to Camp Fire’s After School programs.
