For the fifth year, New Hope of Indiana’s Camp Catalyst delivered a week of joy, friendship, and inclusion from June 15–19, 2026. This unique day camp welcomed children ages 9–13 with and without disabilities, creating an environment where everyone could learn, play, and grow together while redefining what it means to be a friend and a catalyst for change in their communitiesWe were thrilled to welcome new Camp Director, Bukola Eniitan, and three new camp counselors who helped make the week unforgettable. This year featured many returning campers eager to reconnect with New Hope friends and welcome new ones. Campers dove into themed days filled with excitement: Water Activities, Olympic Games, Nature Scavenger Hunt, Carnival, and a lively talent show—along with music-making with drums, group activities on the lawn, and plenty of tie-dye fun complete with matching Camp Catalyst shirts proudly displayed in group photos at the camp sign.

From sunny outdoor moments to creative indoor sessions, the week was packed with laughter, teamwork, and lasting memories. Led by our dedicated team, Camp Catalyst continues to celebrate every camper’s abilities and foster a truly inclusive summer experience.
