Camp Fire Afterschool (CFA) is a flexible and fun option for families looking to balance afterschool care with enrichment opportunities and social-emotional skill development. CFA supports youth in exploring their sparks, practicing social skills, creating connections, building community, and gaining confidence.
Whether exploring art, science, community or culture – each day of the week features a fun and enriching theme.
Sign up for just one day of the week or all five; registration is by day and in 10- to 13-week sessions (fall, winter, and spring).

Design story narratives and re-live history as we create and act our way through tales and events.

Experiment and discover many facets of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) through demonstrations, hands-on experiments, and inventions.
Wednesdays: Camp Fire Kids
Connect to the outdoors, to others, and to yourself with walking field trips to learn about nature and how we can give back to the community. (Camp Fire’s mission is to help with that!)
Thursdays: Around the World
Travel the world with us to learn about different cultures through storytelling, creating dishes from other countries, and creative crafting.
Fridays: DIY Fun
Explore creative mediums through art and maker activities as we learn more about ourselves and discover what we can build with our own hands and minds.

Public registration opens Sunday, August 6 at 4:00 p.m.
Don’t wait to register! High-quality youth programs are in high demand and Camp Fire programs are kept small to ensure a great adult:youth ratio and create the best learning experience possible. That means space is limited and many sessions sell out quickly. If the program is sold out, please add yourself to the waitlist.
