Campers at Camp HopetakeCamp Hopetáke is a week-long, sleep-away summer camp for children ages 8-17 that have survived a burn injury. Hopetáke is the Seminole Indian word for “children."

Camp Hopetáke has limited availability and is filled on a first-come, first-served basis. A personal interview may be necessary to evaluate new campers' eligibility to attend camp.
