Nuhop Center for Experiential Learning

Since 1974, Nuhop has been a sanctuary for children with special needs and a hub for experiential learning.  Nuhop was a pioneer in inclusive camp experiences. Over the decades, what began as a summer camp for 27 children has evolved into a year-round learning center that impacts over 13,000 people annually through outdoor education, leadership development, and respite programs.  Nuhop provides a safe, nurturing, dynamic learning environment where people are empowered to succeed. 

Our Here and Now

Today, Nuhop is more than just a camp – it’s a community.  We continue to expand our programs, serving schools, families, and organizations across Ohio and beyond, With two campuses, Pine and Hemlock (located outside Perrysville and in Butler, respectively), we provide a diverse range of experiences that foster growth, resilience, and a deep connection to nature.  Nuhop remains committee to innovation, inclusivity, and servant leadership, embodying the vision that our founders set it motion 50 years ago.

Looking to Our Future

We are actively shaping our future. Nuhop’s commitment to growth and excellence continues to guide us as we introduce new programs, enhance our facilities, and expand our reach.  Our mission remains clear: to empower individuals of all ages through meaningful, transformative experiences in nature.
