Camp Fire operates 29 municipally licensed school-age child-care programs in Anchorage and Eagle River, serving more than 1,200 children each day, in grades K to 6. Programs are located in the elementary school where the participants are enrolled, creating consistency for the children and easing the burden of transportation for parents. Before- and after-school care helps working families and keeps kids safe while offering them challenging activities and learning experiences. We focus on establishing caring, mentoring, adult relationships, nurturing their social and emotional growth, and promoting physical activity and healthy life choices. In our program, youth have the opportunity to participate in the planning and decision making. Gym games, cooking, arts, crafts, creative drama, music, sports, field trips, physical and natural science and outdoor skills provide youth with a variety of developmentally appropriate activities.
