About This Cause
Camp Fire Columbia helps build caring, equitable and lasting relationships with nature, others, and oursevles. During our school-year programs, Camp Fire serves over 2,000 students helping them learn in a safe, challenging environment in our before-school, after-school, and in-school programs at school sites. We partner with over 27 schools, many of which are under-resourced, to provide students of all grades with: Academic support Enrichment Mentoring Leadership opportunities Experiential learning Community engagement These programs are shown to increase student achievement and develop essential youth assets like confidence, motivation, and connection to peers, school, and community. We place a special emphasis on reaching our community’s most vulnerable youth. We are located in 26 schools in McMinnville, Portland, Troudale and West Linn with programs including Elementary School (Before & After School), Middle School, and High School. Our summer programs keep kids engaged, exploring, and learning during the out-of-school months. These programs all work to battle the “summer learning slide” (the loss of learning and skills during idle summer months) while immersing youth in unique hands-on learning that turns the world into their classroom. Whether it’s an outdoor adventure or a classic summer camp experience, our summer programs light a spark in youth, keep them learning, and re-orient their perspectives on school, their dreams, and their community.
