ABOUT HENRY’S PLACE
Henry’s Place was founded in 2006 in memory of Sergeant Henry Prendes of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, who dedicated his life to protecting others and dreamed of a brighter future for at-risk youth. Today, that vision continues through a Christ-centered camp that provides high-quality, no-cost experiences designed to inspire hope, build confidence, and introduce young people to the life-changing love of Jesus. Through leadership training, outdoor adventure, and faith-based mentorship, Henry’s Place equips youth with the tools to grow in character, community, and faith.
