Our Goal

Mitigate the impacts of trauma in our campers through holistic year-round programming and mentorship.

Camp HOPE America is a program like no other—showing youth that there is a future ahead of hope healing beyond the trauma that they have endured in the past.

Impact of Year-round Programming
