Camp Cassidy empowers teens to become compassionate leaders and mental health advocates. Through hands-on learning in a supportive environment, participants gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to care for themselves and their peers. The camp focuses on recognizing mental health warning signs, practicing healthy coping strategies, and leading with empathy. Campers will also be equipped to advocate for mental health in their schools, fostering a culture of awareness and support. By encouraging help-seeking behaviors and peer support, we aim to reduce stigma and build resilience. Our goal is to inspire a generation of teens who prioritize well-being and uplift those around them on their journey to purpose and joy.
Exciting news! The next Camp Cassidy is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to welcome a new group of teens for another unforgettable experience. Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, this camp promises to offer healing, adventure, and the chance to connect with others who understand.

“Camp Cassidy is a place where we feel safe, accepted, and understood while learning that everyone has their own story and struggles. We leave with new friendships, more compassion for others, and memories that make us excited to come back again.”
“I really liked Camp Cassidy, and I recommend it to everyone. Even if you’re not struggling with Mental Health, it teaches you a lot and helps you understand others’ struggles.”
“Camp Cassidy opened my eyes to how everyone struggles, even if it’s not known, everyone is in the same boat with fighting their own battles.”
“This camp is once again one of my favorite parts of the year! I always love seeing Mrs. Hess and all the friends I’ve made in the past and the ones I’ve made now. I love how safe a space this is, where you can be anyone you want to be and not be judged for that. I can’t wait to come back next year and then eventually come back as a camp buddy!”
“At Camp Cassidy, I was able to not only discuss deep, meaningful topics, but also make amazing friendships! At Camp, I met people I otherwise would never have met, and was able to make lifelong friendships. At my first camp, I was scared I wouldn’t make friends, but the environment is super friendly and hosts inclusivity and friendship!”
“Camp Cassidy really shed light to the true purpose behind Joined For Hope organizations. Now I understand that this battle is not an isolated one but rather one that affects the entire community.”
