Camp HOPE America, Safe Futures is an evidence-based, trauma-informed camping and group mentorship program for children and teens impacted by trauma. We facilitate a variety of monthly events that include field trips, art projects, game nights, and more. Hope coaches assist at these monthly events. They serve as mentors providing support and encouragement while participants challenge themselves to try new things, practice setting goals, and build their coping skills. Our hope coaches come from a variety of backgrounds and are just as diverse as the children we serve. What they have in common is empathy, kindness, and a passion to help children discover their own strengths.
