For the Community

Enjoying a Camp Fire

Camp Fire USA River Bend Council seeks to serve the community by offering important programs for assisting youth to being caring, confident individuals and future leaders.

  • Club Program:  Adult mentors are trained to work with youth on a program curriculum appropriate for their age.
  • Self-reliance classes are offered to schools at little or no cost, depending on the program.  These classes teach youth important skills needed to care for themselves and to be responsible.
  • Camp Tannadoonah is a resident camp in Vandalia, Michigan where youth develop friendships and learn about the great outdoors.
  • Camp Tawanchi is a day camp/day care program run in cooperation with the Mishawaka Park and Recreation Department.

After-school Club Programs offer informal educational experiences in established day care settings to youth members of that organization.

As a community member you may have resources or skills that would be a tremendous asset to the Council. If you would like to volunteer or contribute, please contact our main office.
