JOIN THE MISSION OF CAMP HOPE
A PLACE WHERE EVERY CHILD BELONGS
Since Camp Hope first opened its gates in 2012, our heart has been simple—to create a place where kids can experience both rest and growth in an environment filled with joy, safety, and purpose. Located in Church Hill, Camp Hope serves kids ages 6–18 through a summer camp experience intentionally designed to build strong relationships, teamwork, and personal growth. But more than anything, our desire is for every child who steps onto our property to feel seen, known, and loved.
Kids today are facing more pressure, distraction, and difficulty than ever before, which is why Camp Hope is—and will always be—completely free. Because of this, we are able to reach kids from every background and every circumstance, ensuring that no child misses out on this life-changing experience due to financial barriers. Each summer, we serve over 750 campers by giving them a full week away from the noise and pressure of everyday life—completely free of charge.
During their time at Camp Hope, campers step into a device-free environment where they can fully engage in the moment, build meaningful friendships, and experience something different from their everyday lives. Each day begins with a morning devotional, setting the tone for the day, with biblical teaching intentionally woven throughout activities, breakouts, and even games. Throughout the week, campers participate in experiences like zip-lining, horseback riding, river tubing, archery, and a variety of team games and outdoor adventures.
While these moments are exciting and memorable, our ultimate goal is simple—to love these kids the way Jesus does and to share the truth of the gospel with them. Everything we do, from the activities to the relationships we build, is centered around that purpose. We always close each day with a time of worship, bringing campers together to reflect, respond, and encounter God in a meaningful way.
We believe real life change happens when kids are removed from their normal environment and surrounded by people who genuinely care about them.
WHY WE NEED THE CHURCH
Camp Hope exists because people choose to step in and be part of something bigger than themselves. As a non-profit, donation-funded ministry, we rely on the generosity and involvement of others to continue providing this experience at no cost to families. But more than funding—we believe the local church plays a vital role.
Churches have a unique opportunity to invest in the next generation, serve their local community in a meaningful way, and be part of life change that extends far beyond a single week of camp. We would love to invite your church to partner with us in this mission.
HOW YOUR CHURCH CAN GET INVOLVED
PRAY WITH US
Prayer is foundational to everything we do. We invite your church to partner with us in prayer—for the campers, staff, volunteers, and the life change that happens each summer.
GIVE & SUPPORT
Because Camp Hope is completely free, giving is a meaningful way to partner with us. Your church can sponsor campers, help fund a week of camp, provide meals or supplies, or give toward ongoing needs. Every contribution directly impacts a child’s ability to attend and experience camp.
ENGAGE YOUR PEOPLE
Camp Hope creates opportunities for your church to mobilize people in meaningful ways. Individuals can volunteer, small groups can serve together, and student ministries can step into hands-on mission experiences. It’s a practical way to build a culture of outreach and service within your church.
VISIT CAMP HOPE
You can start by simply coming to visit. We would love to host your pastors, staff, or leadership team for a tour of camp—walking the property, sharing stories of impact, and helping you see firsthand what Camp Hope is all about. It’s one of the best ways to truly catch the vision.
SERVE TOGETHER
Serving at Camp Hope is a powerful way to engage your congregation in hands-on ministry. From work days and preparing camp before the summer, to helping during camp weeks in areas like the kitchen, activities, or support roles, there are opportunities for every group. Whether your church wants to serve once or throughout the year, we’ll help find the right fit.
INVITE US TO YOUR CHURCH
We would love to come to you. Whether it’s a Sunday service, missions emphasis, student gathering, or special event, we can share the vision of Camp Hope and how your church can be part of it.
