Camp HOPE America – San Diego helps youth exposed to trauma and domestic violence find pathways to hope and healing through an innovative camping and year-round mentoring program.

Existing evidence on domestic violence suggests that children affected by trauma are at risk for increased anxiety and depression, social isolations, increased aggression and propensity to perpetuate the cycle of domestic violence. With the guidance of Camp HOPE America at Alliance for HOPE International, Crisis House has the opportunity to help youth and their families break harmful cycles of violence and build their hope for a brighter future.
Camp HOPE America at Alliance for HOPE International is the first evidence-based mentoring and camping program, they work with the University of Oklahoma and their research team, led by Dr. Chan Hellman, to use the Science of Hope to gauge the success of the program. Since 2014, Camp HOPE America has seen a significant increase of hope in each of their campers, and Crisis House will participate in assessing the Hope of our youth participants.
