What is Camp Thrive Las Vegas?

Launched in 2024, Camp Thrive Las Vegas brings together child survivors of sexual abuse, ages 10-14, in a traditional camp setting. Held at the 4-H Camp & Learning Center in Alamo, Nevada, this 3-day summer camp experience includes group therapy sessions with individual sessions provided as needed, arts and crafts, team-building activities, ropes courses, hiking, and much more.  The goal of this summer camp is to encourage healing and help survivors understand that they are not alone. Due to the generous support of our funders and donors, Camp Thrive Las Vegas is free of charge.

At Camp Thrive Las Vegas, a variety of activities to challenge participants will be utilized to achieve the following objectives:

  • Increase and practice healthy boundaries with same age peers and adults

  • Increase ability for participants to self-advocate with peers and adults in various settings (indoor/outdoor activities, group therapy, mealtime, and when sharing living space)

  • Increase and practice age-appropriate social skills and cues with peers and adults in a safe environment

  • Practice healthy coping skills in various settings

  • Learn to challenge themselves and overcome fear

  • Increase willingness to rely on other for support and problem solving
