At Budget Propane, we believe in more than just providing reliable energy solutions, we’re committed to supporting initiatives that make a meaningful impact in our communities. One such organization is Campfire Circle, formerly known as Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium, which offers transformative camp experiences for kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. Through our partnership, we’re proud to help fuel their mission and bring light to the lives of those who need it most.
A Shared Commitment to Community
Campfire Circle is dedicated to providing year-round programs that empower children and families facing cancer or serious illness. Their medically supported camps offer a safe and supportive environment where participants can build confidence, create lasting memories, and find joy amidst their challenges. As a supporter listed among their 2024 contributors, Budget Propane plays a role in ensuring these programs continue to thrive.
Corey Smith from Campfire Circle shares, “By the end of August, over 2,000 kids will have had the opportunity to experience the fun, friendship, and community that our overnight camp programs offer, with the full support of our onsite medical teams. This means that even the most medically fragile campers can join us and experience a summer of firsts-- first time canoeing, first time fishing, and first time getting to the top of the rock climbing wall!”
Fueling the Camp Experience
While our primary service is propane delivery, our involvement with Campfire Circle goes beyond providing energy. We support the essential elements that make their programs enjoyable for their campers.
Campfire Circle’s commitment to expanding its offerings is highlighted as well, with Corey noting, “This summer we've begun offering our programs to kids with end-stage organ failure and organ transplants. With the support of partners like you, we've augmented our medical program so that our team can provide dialysis, right here at camp. These are kids that are often underserved and overlooked, and we're excited to continue widening our circle, bringing them joy and laughter during a time of serious medical challenges.”
Encouraging Others to Give Back
The impact of Campfire Circle’s programs extends far beyond what words can capture. But to keep these life-changing opportunities available, they need support from individuals and businesses alike. We encourage everyone to consider making a donation to this incredible cause. Whether it’s a one-time gift or a recurring donation, your contribution can make a difference in the lives of children and families facing cancer or serious illness.
As Corey beautifully expressed, “We couldn’t do what we do without caring supporters like you by our side. Thank you for helping to bring healing through happiness to so many deserving kids and families!”
Campfire Circle offers various ways to donate, including opportunities for businesses to become partners or sponsors. Every dollar helps provide transformative camp experiences that bring joy, healing, and hope to those who need it most.
Looking Ahead
Our partnership with Campfire Circle is a testament to the power of community 
collaboration. At Budget Propane, we’re excited to continue supporting organizations that make a positive difference. Together with Campfire Circle, we’re lighting the way for children and families to experience the healing power of camp.
