Our Story
Founded in 2014 by dedicated educator Julie Ranson, Camp OPP emerged from a passion for providing transformative outdoor experiences to children from underprivileged backgrounds. After a decade of offering free camping trips to her fourth-grade students, Julie recognized the need to expand this opportunity to more children, regardless of their socio-economic status. With the support of the Indiana University Armstrong Educator Award, Camp OPP was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to making a difference in the lives of young people.
