who we are
Founded in 1998 by parents and community partners, the Camas Educational Foundation (CEF) exists to strengthen the Camas School District by funding teacher-led innovation and student learning. Now in our 27th year, we connect community generosity to classroom needs. so great educators have the tools to reach every learner.
CEF grants have powered projects across the district—robotics from elementary through high school, coding and Makerspace work, Visual Thinking Strategies, library enhancements, outdoor learning gardens, creative arts, PE enrichment, curriculum expansion, and student mini-grants for independent study. With CEF, local support becomes books on desks, tools in labs, and hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and confidence in Camas students.
