Camp HOPE 2026

What is Camp HOPE?

Camp HOPE and Pathways to Hope

Camp HOPE is the first evidence-based camping and mentoring program in the United States focused on children and teens impacted by domestic violence. Its mission is to create a brighter future for youth by fostering pathways to hope, healing, and resilience. This week-long, trauma-informed summer camp provides a structured and supportive environment where participants engage in outdoor recreation, team building, and personal growth exercises. Campers learn how to build healthy relationships, increase their self-esteem, and discover their own resilience in a safe and nurturing place. Camp HOPE doesn’t end when summer does. Youth who attend camp will also have access to ongoing activities and mentorship throughout the year through Pathways to Hope.

Camp Hope is FREE and transportation is provided. If you are interested in joining InterAct’s Camp HOPE in 2026, or if you have any questions, please contact us at camphope@interactofwake.org.
