★★★★★Mark PriorMy son attended Camp Tumalo’s day camp in June 2025 and had a fantastic experience. We’ve done several Camp Fire programs across the region, and this was one of the best-run camps we’ve seen. The setting is absolutely beautiful, right along the river, peaceful and scenic, yet just a short drive from Bend with easy parking and access. What really stood out was the communication and openness. Each day, I was able to chat briefly with the counselors at drop-off and pickup. They were warm, engaged, and clearly loved working with the kids. We also received daily emails with thoughtful recaps and great photos, which really helped us feel connected to what our son was doing. Each group had its own focus depending on the team lead. Our son’s group leaned into outdoor adventure, and he came home excited to teach us new outdoor skills he learned that week. Other groups seemed more craft-focused, so there is room for different interests. They also offer a one-night overnight for 4th graders, which was a perfect transitional experience for my son. It offered just the right balance of independence and support. I would recommend this camp to any parent. It is well-organized, parent-friendly, and clearly puts a lot of care into creating meaningful experiences for kids.
★★★★★Katie RobertsLove the community service programs offered for teens through Camp Fire Central Oregon! It's so important for kids to get off screens, build connections beyond themselves, and get involved in serving our community and giving back! Serving in the soup kitchens, volunteering with rescue animals, lending a hand to address environmental issues—all are so valuable for their hearts, their minds and the future of our world!
★★★★★Patty CambellI have been engaged with Camp Fire for twenty years, starting as a co-leader for a Starflight Club and now as a monthly supporter with a small repeating donation. The organization has evolved with the times to meet the needs of the communities it serves while remaining true to its roots. All three of my kids have thrived as participants in the programs offered and as leaders as they matured. It’s a fabulous INCLUSIVE organization. It’s experience based, guided by staff and volunteers but ultimately the kids direct themselves! Love, love, love this organization! Get your kids involved!!!
