Camp High Hopes

Camp High Hopes is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of youth and adults who have special needs. We offer fun, safe, and adaptive therapeutic recreational experiences year-round for people of all ages with disabilities, special needs, and chronic illnesses. Camp High Hopes is accredited by the American Camp Association.

Camp High Hopes offers year-round therapeutic recreation programs and respites in Sioux City, IA designed to enrich the lives of youth and adults with diagnosed disabilities. Our high quality programs include experiences in archery, canoeing, and outdoor education, among others, for individuals and groups with disabilities. Coming from Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota, campers arrive with anticipation and excitement, leaving with smiles, new friends, and fond memories for years to come.

We take individual and group volunteers for various projects at camp year-round. Many volunteers work directly with our campers helping them with skills or specific sessions. Our group volunteers often work on landscaping projects or building projects at camp. We always need volunteers for our special events, too, to help us plan and work on our fundraisers. They are our Rib Fest in June and our Haunted Lodge Party in October. Find out how you can help Camp High Hopes and get involved in making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
