The Lehi Fire Department is hosting its second Call to Courage Camp this year. Slated to take place in mid-August, the camp was created to provide resources and information for young females interested in pursuing a career in fire service. Currently, the camp remains open to all girls 14 through 18. It will focus onteaching participants the ins and outs of a career in the fire service.
This camp is ideal for young women still in the early phases of career discovery who are naturally interested in unique and exciting jobs. The camp provides resources and information about female firefighting—the unique challenges and opportunities.
