Workshop

Topics to be included in the 2026 workshop include:

• Why Change is Essential
• Medical Liability and Compliance at Camp
• Succession Planning
• Difficult Conversations with colleagues

In addition to these important topics, attendees can expect to spend time singing camp songs and building camp community!  Black Diamond Camp, which hosts the Washington State Council of Professional Firefighters Camp Eyabsut, will open some of their activity stations to attendees so burn camp leaders can let loose and have fun!
