A Summer Camp for Children of Prisoners

A much needed break and a fun, safe place for kids going through tough times

From the fun activities to how our counselors interact with the kids, we have carefully crafted this experience to help them open up and be themselves. The volunteer staff at Hope of the Ozarks encourage campers that they have value and can make good, positive choices for their future.

Caregivers can rest easy knowing their child has a community that supports them and encourages them to create a better life for themselves because of the hope they found while camping in the Ozarks.

We are pleased to offer a week of camp to your child free of cost thanks to a grant from Angel Tree and caring friends of the HOTO ministry. We have many supporters who work together to make this the best week of your child’s summer—from handmade quilts on every bunk bed, to backpacks filled with supplies, this community cares about your family and provides an unforgettable experience for your child that helps you as well. This scholarship includes their week of camp, a subscription to the HOTO camper newsletter, and invitations to Night of Camp – a monthly event during the school year.

Campers enjoy a variety of classic camping activities like horseback riding, swimming, field games, and crafts, plus a new theme adventure each summer.

In making Hope of the Ozarks possible, you are fulfilling the great commission, caring for our modern day “widows and orphans”, and participating in the resolution to the epidemics of fatherlessness and incarceration. The children that attend most likely come from low income homes, so this may be the only camping experience they can “afford”.

Every child will hear the good news and experience the hope of Jesus while having fun in the Ozarks.

Thank you so much for joining our community of supporters. You are building the kingdom and loving the little children.
