The History of  Victory Boys Camps 1952-2014.

The actual, physical camp is gone, but that didn't end Louis mission. . . 

 

It seems that the older I get the more I’m involved with young people. It’s the thrill of a lifetime. One reason is that my books have spread the word and I keep getting letters like this one: “I’m like you, I’m in trouble all the time, but the book has changed me.” I love hearing from kids who were on the wrong track. The actual, physical camp is closed, but that didn’t end it’s mission, which will continue even after I’m gone. In fact, I’m willing to help any kid that’s in trouble, to get them out of their mess, and under an inspirational, disciplinary program.

The Louis Zamperini Foundation is honored to continue the legacy of Victory Boys Camps, 68 years after it’s inception!

We now partner with a strong contingent of camps, foster-care programs, inner city outreach, military schools, and youth correctional facilities , each tailored to fit the unique needs of at-risk youth.  It was always Louis' intention to give assistance, both spiritually and financially, to kids, all with the goal of bringing their experiences back home with them. The Louis Zamperini Foundation equips kids with the tools required for commitment, perseverance, character, and a charitable heart toward others. We work together to plant the seeds of hope, purpose and direction, changing their lives forever.
