Welcome to Camp Hope!
In 2000, a group of 11 orphaned children from Russia came to Des Moines to stay with host families for one week.

This was beginning of Camp Hope -- a non-profit organization that helps place older adoptable children from Russia with families in Iowa and other areas of the United States.

Camp Hope 2010 was a success!

From June 1 to June 10, 2010, we welcomed eight Russian orphans to Des Moines. Seven of the eight found Forever Families while they were here!

Luda would like very much to find a Forever Family! To see a story board of Luda's trip to America, and to learn a little more about her and her sister, click here.
