When Alaska’s families need out-of-school care and support, we’re here to help.
We know that stronger, more resilient families create stronger, more resilient youth. We believe that every child should have access to affordable, quality childcare and we make it our mission to provide just that. As the need for family support increases with uncertainties in the economy, extended deployments for military families, or new and everyday challenges with kids, we’re here to provide support to Alaska’s kids and families.
It didn't take me long to realize how incredibly lucky we were to have landed in the Camp Fire program.

You can’t put a price on consistency and love for a child, but you can put a name to it—it’s Camp Fire.

REGISTRATION
Camp Fire accepts children into our programs on a first-come, first-served basis. The registering parent/adult must register their child for each session desired every year.
Camp Fire programs are led by trained, caring staff and are participant-centered and include a variety of fun, developmentally appropriate activities such as games, cooking, arts and crafts, drama, music, sports, science, field trips, and lots of active time outdoors.
We’re here to help. We understand that sometimes circumstances put a strain on the family budget making financial assistance necessary. Camp Fire Alaska Scholarships are designed to help families through those periods of financial difficulty. Scholarships info >>

FAMILY SERVICES
At Camp Fire Alaska, we strive for inclusion in all of our programs.
The Camp Fire Alaska main office operates on the ancestral land of the Dena’ina people. Camp Fire Alaska runs programing on the lands of the Athabascan, Yup’ik, Chup’ik, Sougpiaq, and Inupiaq peoples. We value and thank them for their current and historic commitment to and protection of this land. We pledge to assist, in partnership, in the environmental stewardship of these lands. We strive to learn more about the history of the Native peoples of Alaska and the historic trauma they have suffered. We commit to being an active ally through activities, actions, and organizational decisions and practices. We understand that this is a dynamic process through which our Land Acknowledgement practices, and statement will evolve as we receive feedback from tribal partners and acquire a deeper understanding of and from the Native peoples of Alaska..
