Camp Hope 2025
Camp Hope is a week long overnight camp for children who have been exposed to trauma. Camp Hope America produces a specialized curriculum to help children learn to believe in themselves, believe in others and believe in their dreams. By engaging in traditional camping activities, children learn the skills they need to overcome challenges and have hope for their future dreams.
In addition to the weeklong camp, children are enrolled in a yearlong Pathways program where they continue to engage with the mentors from camp and participate in local activities to learn what their community has to offer!
2024 was our first year to host Camp Hope and we took 20 kids to camp!
Here is a taste of a day at camp:
