A vital infusion of funds will keep a 100-year-old Clackamas County youth camp open this summer — but Camp Namanu isn’t out of the woods yet.

“The hard and heartbreaking piece is that we’ve also had to make a big change to the way the organization functions,” said executive director Gina Sander.

To be specific, Campfire Columbia has transferred its after-school program to the Columbia-Willamette branch of the YMCA, and ended a mentoring program aimed at middle and high school students.

The restructuring will allow Campfire Columbia to focus only on Camp Namanu, at the cost of 80 to 90 jobs, according to Sander. Full-time staff is now only about 10 people, though an additional 50 seasonal employees will staff Camp Namanu this summer.
