Did you know that a child with a parent in prison is significantly more likely than their peers to be incarcerated themselves later on in life (one study found up to 5 times more likely)? Did you know Oklahoma incarcerates women at a higher rate than anywhere else in the world? New Hope Oklahoma works with youth 5-18 who have/have had an incarcerated parent, with the mission to end generational incarceration. We provide after school programs, holiday parties, case management, summer camps, and overnight retreats, among other services.

During camp, New Hope provides linens for every cabin, including sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels, as many families may not have extra of these items to send to camp. With almost 60 campers at each of the three camps, that is a lot of bedding! Please help us out by signing up to do laundry after camps ( June 22 nd - 24th ). Great opportunity for a large group.
