Homelessness takes a terrible toll on children and can contribute to health, social, developmental, and education-related challenges as a result of the traumas endured.
To help children overcome these challenges — and to provide respite from the grinding boredom and sweltering heat of the shelter system in the summer — the Coalition for the Homeless launched Camp Homeward Bound (CHB) in 1984.
Every summer, CHB holds three 16-day sessions for up to 120 campers per session. Campers range in age from seven to 15, with older kids able to return as Leaders-in-Training.
Campers take part in swimming, sports, art, dance, yoga, archery, biking, culinary arts, and music, among other activities. We take full advantage of the beautiful environment by providing children living in the NYC shelter system with a variety of adventures and opportunities to be immersed in nature — biking along nature trails, harvesting vegetables in the garden, telling stories around a blazing campfire.
CHB gives wonderful kids the chance to grow, learn, play, make friends — and just be kids again.
