For 30 years, Camp Hope has been a lifeline of joy, healing, and empowerment for children living with HIV—and those impacted by it. Founded as the first summer camp of its kind in Texas, Camp Hope continues to serve youth ages 7 to 17, along with their siblings, from marginalized and underserved communities across the South.

At Camp Hope, these remarkable children are given far more than a summer experience. They gain a supportive community, meaningful friendships, and a true sense of belonging with peers who understand their journey. Campers develop essential life, health, education, and independence skills that help them confidently navigate challenges related to living with or being impacted by HIV.

Most importantly, Camp Hope offers something every child deserves:
the chance to run, play, laugh, and simply be a kid—free from stigma, fear, and judgment.

For three decades, Camp Hope has provided a safe, healthy, and affirming environment where young people can discover their strengths, celebrate who they are, and envision a future filled with possibility.
