Improving mental and physical health. Building confidence and self esteem.
Our Story
Dawl Camp began with a simple vision: to give every child facing adversity a place where they feel seen, supported, and inspired. What started in 2017 as a small summer program has grown into a countywide youth empowerment movement serving boys and girls ages 5–16 through education, creative expression, and essential resources.
Ro's Story
I didn’t create Dawl Camp because I had all the answers, I created it because I remembered what it felt like to have none. Growing up in the foster care and facing adversity, I learned early how it feels to be overlooked and unheard. I also learned how powerful it is when someone takes the opportunity to believe in you.
For me, fashion was more than creativity it was survival. It's how I coped with expressing myself. As a mother and a designer, I wanted to turn my pain into purpose by creating a safe space for youth in my community.
In 2017, I founded Dawl Camp with a vision to build a community where youth from underserved communities could come feel seen, supported, and empowered. I wanted them to know they matter. Every child no matter where they come from should have access to hope, healing and opportunities.
