This year’s entertainment includes Orquesta K'Che, Los Guanajuatenses, Letal Rock Band, folkloric dance groups, and Zumba.

High School Girls Can Explore Firefighting and Leadership at Camp Ignite
Credit: Town of Cary
A FREE camp created to build the confidence & character of high school girls while introducing them to the Fire Department & other public services.
Camp Ignite is returning this summer with a weeklong program aimed at introducing high school girls to careers in firefighting and public service. Hosted by the Cary, Apex, and Morrisville fire departments, the camp combines hands-on firefighter training with leadership and confidence-building activities.
Participants will learn practical firefighting skills such as hose handling, first aid, and ladder climbing while working directly with experienced female firefighters. Organizers say the camp also emphasizes teamwork, mentorship, and personal growth.
The program is open to North Carolina girls ages 14 to 18 and is offered free of charge. Camp sessions will take place at fire stations throughout Cary, Apex, and Morrisville, with transportation provided from Bond Park.
Applications for the 2026 session close Friday, May 8 (Today!). The camp itself will run from July 27 through July 31. Apply online.
Should more career-focused summer camps like Camp Ignite be offered for teens?
