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. Filled with time outdoors, fun challenges, STEAM activities, games and songs, CFA supports youth in exploring their sparks, practicing social skills, creating connections, building community, and gaining confidence.
For information on how we are working to reduce risks of COVID-19 exposure in our programs, please refer to our COVID-19 Handbook.
*Due to rising covid rates, the fall session of CFA will be open to Amity families only. We hope to be able to open to all families come spring - stay tuned!
