Kidz2Leaders exists to break the cycle of incarceration by providing stability, opportunity and a Christian community for children of inmates.
Once a child’s application is accepted at Camp Hope, we commit to a decade or more of partnership and programming! Our ten-year program continuum is designed to cultivate long-term, supportive relationships, beginning with children at age eight and serving them and their families through young adulthood. All of our programming and services are provided at no cost to families. We believe it is only through this long-term commitment that we can truly end generational incarceration.
OUR TEN-YEAR PROGRAM CONTINUUM
OUR FOUR PROGRAMS
Camp Hope is a week-long, overnight summer camp where kids hear the hope of the gospel, cultivate supportive relationships with counselors and peers, and build confidence in new skills. Every summer we offer two sessions of camp: Cornerstone Camp, providing an impactful summer camp experience for our younger campers, and Teen Leadership Camp, where our more experienced campers build leadership and teamwork skills.
Anchored2Hope is our student and family support program, providing year-round physical, emotional, and spiritual support to Camp Hope families and connecting them in meaningful community. Our program offerings include events such as Hope4Christmas, family weekend retreats and field trips, as well as customized individual support to each family.
The Interns4Tomorrow program provides high school students with a year of college and career readiness training, as well as paid internships at metro-Atlanta businesses and scholarship opportunities. Our goal is to empower young adults with the skills needed to make informed and confident choices about their future.
Kidz2Leaders does not end after high school graduation, but instead evolves into our Alumni Community. We offer ongoing development, connection opportunities, and individual support to help our alumni navigate post-secondary education and their chosen career path. One of our greatest joys is welcoming alumni back to Camp Hope to serve as counselors and leaders!
