Camp Hope is a retreat that offers all expenses paid adventures for service men and women who gave selflessly for our freedoms. The camp was established by William “Mike” White and his wife, Galia, in honor of their son, Christopher, who sacrificed his life defending our country in Iraq.
The retreat offers beautiful natural surroundings, various activities, and camaraderie with other veterans. Located in the rural setting of Farmington, Missouri, the landscape is perfect for hiking, four-wheeling, hunting, fishing, and exploring. The activities are tailored to veterans of all abilities, and the facilities are ADA-approved and handicapped-accessible.
The generosity of donors and volunteers make it possible for guests to enjoy their stay at Camp Hope free of charge, with every dollar going directly to supporting war-wounded veterans. Since its opening in 2007, Camp Hope has hosted hundreds of veterans at their facility for camaraderie, recreation, and healing.
County Materials, through the Sonnentag American Foundation, targets support to worthy organizations like Camp Hope. We partner with organizations that support individuals in four key service areas: Hunger & Homelessness Support, Service Member & Veteran Support, Sexual Abuse & Domestic Assault Services, and Mentoring & Skills Building.
