The camp is a summer program to enrich the social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth of each camper by providing a respite from homelessness in a safe and supportive community.

CHB strive to break the cycle of homelessness by offering an opportunity for homeless, formerly homeless, and low income youth to experience quality character building activities through education and recreation. Each camper develops a foundation to help them become self-supporting, independent and socially responsible adults.

Campers (7 to 15 years old) reside in platform tents for 3 sixteen day sessions with their assigned counselors.
