Our Story
Nestled in the heart of the Midwest, Camp High Hopes has been a beacon of joy and inclusivity for children, teens, and adults with disabilities since its inception in 2004. Located on a picturesque 90-acre site just east of Sioux City, IA, this extraordinary haven offers fun, safe, and adaptive recreational experiences to all its campers. With site work commencing in 2008, the Camp High Hopes family transformed their dream into reality through three momentous capital campaigns: 'Where Smiles Happen' (2010), 'S'more Smiles' (2014), and 'Hopes and Smiles' (2020-present). Over the past 12 years, Camp High Hopes has welcomed over 500 jubilant campers annually, ranging from ages 5 to 95, and proudly commemorates the creation of more than one million smiles.
