esp is leading the way in accessible, inclusive camping
Designed through a groundbreaking partnership with the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, Camp Hooray is our future overnight camp facility located in Jefferson, Georgia—currently under development and full of BIG dreams! It will be the first-of-its-kind, fully accessible overnight camp for children and young adults with disabilities. The 90-acre site also serves as a living laboratory for students and faculty to develop innovative structural and landscape designs that prioritize accessibility and inclusion.
While Camp Hooray is being built, we bring the camp magic to cities through our Hooray Day Camps—local, week-long day camps filled with fun, friendship, and belonging. Currently, we offer six weeks of day camp and two weeks of overnight programming, with plans to expand in the future.
Whether it’s a day camp in your hometown or one day under the stars at Camp Hooray, every esp experience is designed to include, empower, and celebrate every camper.
