Camp Fire’s mission is to provide every child with the opportunity to find the best in themselves and others in a safe, fun, learning environment. We understand that quality after-school programming helps children develop social, emotional, physical and academic skills and are key to helping our young people become successful adults. These out-of-school-time programs help working families and keeps kids safe while offering them challenging activities and learning experiences.  Camp Fire operates 29 municipally licensed school-age child-care programs in Anchorage and Eagle River, serving more than 1,300 children each day, in grades K to 6.

Any kid will tell you that summer break can be long and boring, or full of fun and excitement. It all depends on the choices they make. Camp Fire does its part, with full-day programming, day camp and residential camp, to provide an action-packed summer.  Each summer, we provide more than 1,400 youth with opportunities to learn new skills, challenge themselves, see new places, get outside their comfort zones while feeling safe and supported, make friends and create memories that will last a lifetime
