Camp HOPE America is the first evidence-based camping and mentoring program for children impacted by trauma in the United States.
Our goal is to give children and teens their childhood back and help them find pathways to HOPE. Our vision is to break the generational cycle of family violence by offering healing and hope to children and adults who have witnessed and been impacted by family violence.
At Camp HOPE, we use fun-filled avenues to bring HOPE into campers’ lives. During camp, we discuss important life lessons such as the value of forgiveness, the future is brighter than the past, and that we all need each other. Campers learn about role models who have overcome difficult times and made a positive impact in their community. Campers are challenged with trust and team-building exercises such as rock climbing and zip-lining and empowered with character trait awards. Using meaningful activities, we create an environment where kids feel safe, seen, encouraged, and loved.
