Based in Bend, OR since 1916, Camp Fire Central Oregon has been at the forefront of youth development for over a century. Our mission is to connect youth to the outdoors, others, and themselves. We create safe spaces in out- of-school time programs where youth in Pre-K - 12th grade can learn, lead, have fun and be themselves. Growing up has always been hard, but today’s youth in particular face unique and exceptional challenges. We envision a world where all young people have equitable opportunities to discover what motivates them and to lead a healthy, joyful, and purposeful life. Through strong relationships, we support young people as they navigate the challenges of growing up in the world today and learn the life skills they need to thrive.
