Camp Homeward Bound
About
Homelessness takes a terrible toll on children. Many experience problems in their health, social development and education later in life as a result of the traumas they’ve endured. To help homeless girls and boys overcome these challenges — and to provide respite from the grinding boredom and sweltering heat of the shelter system in the summer — the Coalition launched Camp Homeward Bound (CHB) in 1984.
SCOPE (Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education) provides children from underserved communities with life-changing opportunities through the experience of summer camp. We fund camp scholarships-camperships-to send children who commit to staying in school to nonprofit residential camps which empower them to reach their full potential.
