As we step into a new year, we’re feeling excited and hopeful about what’s ahead.

We’re looking forward to continuing to improve accessibility across camp, growing strong and thoughtful leadership, and deepening our connection with the community around us. We’re excited for outreach, new opportunities, and the Summer Camp season(we can't help it)!

Most of all, we can’t wait to see our campers again and welcome new ones into a place where they can try, grow, and just be themselves.

🎉 Here’s to another year of possibility at Mission Creek.

As this year comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to pause and say thank you.

We’re thankful for our campers who show us every season what courage and joy look like. For parents who trust us with what matters most. For our community of supporters who show up, cheer us on, and believe in what camp can be. And for our dedicated staff who give their time, energy, and hearts to make Mission Creek a place where everyone belongs.

We’re grateful for the big moments, the quiet wins, and all the people who made this year at Mission Creek one to remember.

Don't forget, our FUNDing Adventure is running through January. Help us make camp accessible to everyone!

We’re closing out the year with our FUNding Adventure, and today we’re highlighting Camp Sponsorship!

Camp sponsorships help care for the spaces where camp life actually happens — the cabins, paths, gathering places, and shared moments that make Mission Creek feel like home. Your support allows us to keep these spaces safe, welcoming, and accessible for every camper who walks through our gates.

As we look to 2026 and every year ahead, our focus remains clear: continuing to build summer camp experiences where individuals of all abilities can fully participate, belong, and thrive. When you sponsor Mission Creek, you’re investing in more than a season — you’re helping shape a future where camp is open to everyone.

Thank you for your support through 2025.

"I want to start off by saying the camp is really nice. The camp staff is really friendly. Because Kimberly, one of the counselors, we had a nice time out. She made sure that we were having a great day. She spent time every day to sit down and talk with us. Gifton another counselor was a hoot. Because Kristy uses canes to walk, Gifton knelt down and let Kristy sit on his knee to shoot archery. He made sure we both were successful in shooting archery. The horse people that came out and made the experience for Kristy amazing. She was able to ride the horse and all the camp staff that helped hold on to her so she could stay on the horse. We really loved the marshmallow war. Violet was very helpful with all of the showers and helping get Kristy to the bathroom and anywhere else we needed to go.

Thanks for a wonderful summer. We will be back."

A Letter from our Founder -
I never set out to build something big. Back in 2006, it was just me, my 10-year-old daughter, a rented barn, and a hope that horses could change someone’s life the way they changed ours. Hope Ranch grew because people kept showing up to a place where their loved ones were seen, supported, and celebrated.

That same hope is what brought my wife, Cathy, and I to Mission Creek Camp in 2018. When we walked the old Daisy Hindman property for the first time, I remember thinking, “Kids are going to come alive here.” And they have. Every laugh echoing from the cabins, every brave camper trying something new, and every moment of joy is the heart of this place.

We’ve weathered a pandemic, rebuilt, grown, and watched this camp turn into something truly special. I’m proud of what we’ve created, but I’m even more proud of the campers who make this place what it is.

As we close out the year, I'm inviting you to help another camper discover possibilities at camp. Your support keeps the cabins open, the horses saddled, the counselors trained, and the laughter rolling across the hills.

If Mission Creek has touched your family, your loved one, or your heart, I hope you’ll consider giving today.

Thank you for believing in what’s possible.
