How to Have a Camp in Your Area:
Camp Noahs are often held in churches, schools and community centers. If children in your area have been affected by disaster (natural or human-caused), Camp Noah might be a great opportunity for them to play, process and heal from their experience. These camps are offered at no cost to children thanks to generous financial and in-kind donations from community partners.

If you are interested in having a camp in your town, or assembling a volunteer team to serve these children, please contact:
