Help us buy 5 propane fire rings so campers never miss a s'more, a story, or a summer around the fire.

For over 30 years, Tumalo Day Camp has been where Central Oregon kids learn to love the outdoors. Around the fire is where the magic happens. A big part of these experiences is having a campfire. There's something about spending time outside around the fire that removes distractions and builds community.

But summer fire bans have become a fact of life in Central Oregon, and they aren't going away. Over the past several years, those bans have meant canceled cookouts, quieter evenings, and campers missing out on one of the most formative parts of TDC.

Our goal: raise $3,000 to purchase 5 propane fire rings and tanks — enough to keep cooking progressions, overnight campfires, and community moments alive no matter what the fire danger level is.

What your gift makes possible:

3rd–7th graders learning real outdoor cooking skills every summer
Overnight campers gathering around the fire, rain or shine, ban or no ban
A tradition that's shaped three decades of Central Oregon kids — protected for the next generation

Why peer-to-peer? Because the people who know what TDC means are the ones who've lived it. If Tumalo Day Camp shaped your kid's summer (or your own), share this campaign with someone who'd want to help keep the fire going.

Every dollar goes directly to equipment that campers will use this summer. Thank you for for supporting TDC campers and making summer memories!
