Whispering Hope Ranch Foundation

Our Mission: To improve the lives of children with special needs through the wonder of camp, the beauty of nature and the power of the human-animal connection.

There are 325,000+ children in Arizona with special health care needs, 12,500+ experiencing foster or out-of-home care, and only one camp facility designed and built from the ground up to accommodate their diverse needs-Whispering Hope Ranch.

Nestled in the cool pines of Payson and serving children throughout the State with any developmental, medical, physical or emotional disability, Whispering Hope Ranch is more than a camp. It's a place of possibilities, acceptance and community. Camp is a powerful experience for children with special needs giving them a sense of independence, self-confidence, strength during difficult times and improved medical compliance.

Our Priorities:
• Children with Special Needs
• Our Animal Residents
• Inclusive Programming
• Our Fully Accessible Facility
