Who We Are

Our

Mission & Values

Camp Hope evolved from a growing need  to create community in the lives of the youth with unique circumstances. Our goal is help equip these young people with confidence, education, and much needed life skills. Camp Hope programing  including Teen Talk, Leaders in Training (LiT), and Grownish Leadership Institute (GLI), was developed with these goals in mind.

The annual Camp Hope is held at 'Camp For All'. 'Camp For All' is a barrier-free camp working in partnership with a multitude of non-profit organizations to enrich the lives of individuals living  with challenging illnesses or special needs.


Camp Hope is located in the rolling hills of Burton, Texas among lush landscapes and green pastures. This 206-acre camp site boasts over 100,000 square feet of facilities, two lakes, nature trails, wooded areas, and cleared areas for activities.
