Camp-In
Our elementary children have been working so hard for the first 9 weeks of this semester to attend the very exciting “Camp-In!” In order to attend, each student needed to earn 850 points. They could earn points many ways, including getting A’s on tests or quizzes, reading books, being a helper, doing extra credit, and more. They could also earn tickets to spend during the event. Our 10th-12th graders were in charge of planning the event including the schedule, decorating, the food, and the activities. They did a great job! To prepare for the event, the children also had the opportunity to decorate their tent however they wanted, and we were so impressed with some of their creativity!
All the children arrived at 6 pm on Friday where they were greeted with a foggy, “starry night” including night outdoor sounds. They began with dinner of corndogs, hot dogs, and some even had steak because they had the most earned points! The evening was full of indoor and outdoor games, booths where they could spend their tickets, a bonfire, and movies! The children had such a great time, and we are so proud of them for their hard work in school to be able to attend.
We want to thank those that support us. We would not be able to do activities like this without your support to help give these children a well-rounded childhood and education. We look forward to seeing the exciting things the rest of this school year has in store!

help us continue providing events like this for the children
We at Adopt Babies Care were so excited to have our Executive Director Mr. Owen, Mr Higgins and wife honored as the Tampa Bay Lightning Community Heroes for their selfless service and love for children! They were presented with a $50,000 check to use at Adopt Babies Care which helped renovate a portion of our school.
Mr Owens and Chris were invited to a Lightning game where they, along with about 16 guests of their choice including about a dozen children from Hope, enjoyed a private suite stocked with dinner and treats! Another forty or more of our children were also able to attend the game. Ten minutes into the game, they had a special video presentation featuring Dr. Mike & Chris Higgins showing all their accomplishments of almost 8 years of working with children!
