Camp Fircroft’s sole purpose is to refresh and strengthen Christians in the air of Langlois, Oregon. We have all been struck by the majesty of creation so visible from the mountain top. Our goal is to challenge students to a faith In Christ that affects their obedience, consistency, actions, and attitudes, addressing what they believe and why, in an atmosphere of excitement and growth. Over the years, First Community has supported Camp Fircroft financially and with hands-on volunteers that participate in camp workdays and/or serving at a camp in some capacity.
