Hooray, empowered by ESP, welcomes people of all abilities and their families to a place of belonging where they experience boundless adventure.

“It’s a dream we didn’t even know we had.”

Imagine a camp with no limitations, a camp where kids of all abilities can access every part of camp, where accessibility is not just an afterthought but instead the forefront of every camp activity… where kids in wheelchairs can sleep on the top bunk and individuals with autism can safely and intentionally wander. Camp Hooray is the future camp for kids of all abilities.
 
Continuing its 30 year mission to help children with disabilities to not just exist, but thrive, ESP has a dream to provide a unique, accessible overnight camping experience for campers of all abilities.

Hope for Hooray

  • ESP has been a central part of shaping who I am and continues to do so in amazing ways. It has given me so much and hopefully, I have been able to give back just as much. ESP truly changed my way of viewing myself. The ESP staff and counselors have influenced and inspired me. The memories are immortal in my heart and in my mind. ESP has made my life bright; it is my home away from home. I know I would have been a completely different person without ESP.

  • While attending Camp ESP, all is well in our world. In the camp pictures, I've never seen my son smile so much.
