Pesach Tikvah

Pesach Tikvah - Door of Hope, was opened in 1983 to close a gaping hole in the communal fabric of North Brooklyn: the lack of an organization dedicated to the mental health needs of Jewish individuals.

The Camp Bais Chana Enhanced Respite Summer Day Camp grants children with special needs the opportunity to experience one of the most memorable parts of childhood. Each year the day camp opens its doors to children with disabilities, allowing their families a much needed respite, while giving the children a wholesome summer. With intensive staff to child ratios and activities tailored to their unique needs, the children look forward to camp all year.

Pesach Tikvah's After-School Respite Program is for children 3-16 years of age with developmental disabilities including autism, cerebral palsy and seizure disorders. This innovative program provides daily recreational activities in a warm and nurturing setting. As this program runs after-school, Sundays, and legal holidays, it provides much-needed respite for the families, who are often overwhelmed with the care of their special needs children.
