Camp Fire Central Oregon has been an innovative leader in youth development since 1916 and has been helping Central Oregon youth find their sparks for over 100 years. Its mission is to connect young people to the outdoors, to others, and to themselves. Programs combine elements of outdoor adventures, leadership, and service, and include SummerKids, Tumalo Day Camp, and teen summer programs that focus on getting out in the community to give back, build leadership skills, unplug from technology, and have fun. Low cost options and financial assistance are available for all programs. Programs are open to all and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, physical challenges, or sexual orientation. Camp Fire creates safe spaces where young people can have fun and be themselves, and has staff and programming committed to getting youth outside and helping them engage with and build appreciation for the natural world.

Camp Fire Central Oregon offers one-off outdoor programs, community events, outreach and more, including special outreach events such as Valentine’s for Veterans on the Annual MLK Jr. National Day of Service in January and Absolutely Incredible Kid® Day in March. The leadership team includes Kecia Kubota — Executive Director; Melanie Feltmate — Operations Director; Mary Bowker — Special Projects Director and Grants Manager; Elana Reinholtz-Lee — Marketing & Development, Associate Director; Cece Valceschini — Program Specialist; and Javier Leiva — Executive Administrator. Kecia Kubota holds a Masters degree in International and Intercultural Management with an emphasis in Training and Human Resource Development. One parent shared, “Thanks for all you do at Camp Fire! I feel deep appreciation for the work you do to give our kiddos great experiences connecting with nature and also through service in our community. I’m really looking forward to my kiddo participating in the leadership building camps. The leaders are great role models!”
