Camp Fire Central Oregon | Light the Fire Within

SummerKids-2023

SummerKids camp is an exciting and engaging way for kids to spend their summer. Each week, we explore a different theme through games, movement activities, science investigations, camp songs, arts and crafts, environmental awareness, and community building. More importantly, in small groups of 8-12, all youth get to make new friends, connect with caring adults, and discover their sparks in a low pressure, supportive, and fun environment.

Registration is now open! Click the links below to register.

All camps take place from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Bend. Specific location may change from year to year.
Extended care options are available. See Camp Details.

Highlights of SummerKids Camp:

- Campers have ample opportunity to visit the neighboring parks and green spaces within walking distance

- Water Wednesdays featuring bounce houses and water slides

- Weekly field trips for 5th and 6th graders

- Lower ratios for kindergartners to practice the social emotional skills that will prepare them to transition to elementary school

- Extended care options for both in the mornings and afternoons

- Quality counselors and leadership staff who choose to work for Camp Fire because of our mission: connecting youth to the outdoors, to others, and to themselves.
