California currently has more than 1 million acres of wildfires. To put that into perspective, the entire state of Rhode Island is 776,957 acres. These dangerous conditions would be even worse if it weren’t for the brave men and women fighting these fires.

R.M. Pyles Boys Camp is currently located right next to one such fire, the Castle Fire. This fire gets its name from a landmark with which most Pyles campers are familiar, Castle Rock. Due to our proximity, we are offering use of Pyles Camp for incident command, equipment and personnel staging, and a place for the firefighters to rest.

Pyles Camp is currently safe due to the hard work of ground and air crews from multiple agencies. We want to thank them for their efforts and ask that you join us by filling out the form below. We will be compiling all of these responses and sending to the agencies on the front lines. Please take a moment to say thank you to these hard-working men and women who are keeping R.M. Pyles Boys Camp safe!
