Welcome Here.
We’re building the Holland Campus at Camp Hooray — a place where families navigating disability can breathe again, find connection, and begin to see what’s next.
Accessible cabins. Year-round retreats. Summer day camp filled with joy, friendship, and belonging.
Families need more than information. They need a place to begin.
For years, ESP has shared the poem Welcome to Holland with families navigating a diagnosis because it gives language to a journey so many did not expect.
But families need more than information. They need support, connection, and a place where they can begin to move forward with hope.
The Holland Campus is being created to meet families in that moment, whether a diagnosis came yesterday or years ago, and remind them that they are not alone.
Welcome to Holland
This poem has helped many families find language for a journey they did not expect — and reminds us why the Holland Campus matters.
Families need more than a diagnosis. They need a way forward.
The Reality
When a diagnosis enters a family’s life, questions multiply and plans shift quickly. Families are suddenly navigating emotions, systems, and uncertainty all at once.
The Gap
Many families are left trying to navigate appointments, resources, schools, therapies, and emotions without a clear place to turn for connection and support.
The Opportunity
Early connection, shared experiences, and community can change the entire journey ahead — helping families move forward with confidence, hope, and belonging.
A Place to Breathe — and Begin.
The Holland Campus is being designed to create moments of belonging, rest, joy, and connection for families navigating disability — not just during camp, but throughout the entire year.
Accessible Cabins
Thoughtfully designed spaces where comfort, accessibility, and belonging come first — giving every family the opportunity to rest, gather, and feel fully welcomed.
Holland Retreats
Year-round retreats helping families navigate the emotional and practical realities of disability while finding community, encouragement, and hope together.
Summer Day Camp
Spaces that come alive every summer with laughter, friendship, unforgettable memories, and experiences where every individual feels included and celebrated.
Community Spaces
Gathering places designed for shared meals, honest conversations, support, and the kind of connection that reminds families they are not alone.
Something Changes When Families Arrive Here.
The Holland Campus is more than a place. It is an experience of being understood, welcomed, and connected in ways many families have never experienced before.
Belonging Changes Everything.
When families feel connected and supported, the impact reaches far beyond camp. Parents move forward with confidence. Siblings feel included. Individuals step more fully into who they are.
The Ripple Extends Everywhere.
What begins at the Holland Campus carries outward into schools, workplaces, churches, friendships, neighborhoods, and communities. Support creates confidence. Connection creates momentum. Belonging changes lives.
Welcome Here
The “Welcome Here” campaign is a $10.57 million effort to bring the Holland Campus to life — creating spaces where families navigating disability can rest, connect, heal, and move forward together.
Every cabin, retreat, gathering space, and summer experience is being designed to remind families that they are not alone.
for the Holland Campus
Because every family deserves more than a diagnosis.
They deserve connection. They deserve support. They deserve a way forward.
The Holland Campus is being built to create those moments — moments where families feel seen, understood, encouraged, and welcomed exactly as they are.
