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).
Camp Fire Afterschool offers programs in three locations: Amity Creek Elementary in downtown Bend, Bend International School on the north end of town, and Three Rivers School in Sunriver.
We appreciate the reality of scheduling around parent work schedules and youth activities, so Camp Fire Afterschool sessions are priced per day-of-the-week with Fall, Winter and Spring sessions to match Bend/La Pine Schools quarterly calendar.

The daily themes are the same for both locations. And while the daily themes remain the same in fall, winter, and spring sessions, the experiences from session to session will be fresh.
Mondays: DIY Kids!
During DIY Kids on Mondays, youth will engage with fun, exciting projects that will spark creativity, artistic expression, and a sense of self.
Tuesdays: Science Club
Science Club is a STEM-minded (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) day where youth can choose to join a friendly robotics competition throughout the session or complete science experiments after school! STEM through demonstrations, hands-on experiments, and inventions.
Wednesdays: Community 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: Adulting 101
Designed to encourage independence and build confidence, youth will learn a multitude of skills that apply to everyday life!
Fridays: Game Day
This is a community-focused activity day where youth will be able to choose from among many different types of game play throughout the session, including board games, group games, various sports, and more!
We strive to make all of our programs available to as many youth as possible, regardless of the ability to pay.
Because we schedule staff, invest in supplies, and plan for expenses based upon the number of youth we are expecting, we must adhere to our cancellation policies.
Most of our fee-based programs require a $10-25 non-refundable fee at registration (unless specifically noted in the program description).
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.

Young people want to shape the world.
Camp Fire provides the opportunity to find their spark, lift their voice, and discover who they are.
In Camp Fire, it begins now.
