It doesn't matter when or what camp you attended, you can enter! We’re using a quick chat-based survey to collect stories from past campers about you liked, learned, and experienced at your Girls on Fire camp!
Even if you’re not selected to go, your story still matters. We're looking for past camp participants who want to:
Stay involved with Girls on Fire in other ways
Volunteer at future camps
Learn more about disaster resilience and leadership
We know our campers grow into powerful leaders. Help us show the world what Girls on Fire can do — and shape what we do next.

In 2025, Girls on Fire ran its first program inside Reiby Youth Justice Centre, working with girls and boys under 15 to build confidence, connection, and practical emergency skills. The program was made possible through funding from the NSW Government's Investing in Women initiative and the support of Reiby staff and our cultural inclusion mentors.
If you’ve mentored at a Girls on Fire camp, please take 10–15 minutes to share how the experience influenced your approach to working with young people.
