At Camp Inspire

We believe in the boundless potential of every young person. We aim to create a nurturing environment where creativity, leadership, and resilience are encouraged and celebrated. 

Through our diverse range of programs, including Girls in STEAM, we are dedicated to breaking barriers and fostering a love for science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics in young girls.

Our campers embark on a journey of self-discovery, engaging in hands-on activities that spark curiosity and innovation while building essential life skills and strong community bonds.

With a focus on empowerment and personal growth, Camp Inspire equips every camper with the confidence and tools they need to become the leaders and changemakers of tomorrow. 

Join us and witness the transformative power of a camp experience that turns potential into possibility!

Operation Refuge takes great pride in partnering with outstanding allies who spearhead transformative change within our communities. United, we are creating a significant impact on families, neighborhoods, our county, and the state, nurturing a brighter future for everyone.
