    Administrative history

    The International Camping Fellowship (ICF) is a membership organization extending worldwide to promote international cooperation and understanding through organized camping and to coordinate the exchange of news and information between individuals, camps and organizations in different countries. It was founded in 1987 by camp professionals at a meeting at Camp Tawingo in Huntsville, Ontario, Canada, where Dick Chamberlain was appointed as the first ICF president . Jack Pearse served as president from 1998-2003, Jenny Bowker served from 2003-2008, Valery Kostin served from 2008-2014, John Jorgenson served from 2014-2020. Fahrettin Gozet is the sixth and current ICF president since 2020.
    The International Camping Congress, organized by ICF, is a worldwide assembly of camps and camp professionals who share their knowledge and commitment to the camp and outdoor experience. This event occurs every third year in different locations around the world to provide an opportunity for camp education professionals, students and friends of camping to meet, network, and discuss ideas and views. This includes a research forum, study tours, continuous keynote speakers and a variety of workshops.
