Cabins are assigned by age and cabin assignment with two friends will be considered if campers are within one year of each other. This request must be made on the registration form by both campers for each other, but cabin requests are not guaranteed. The Camp Director is responsible for making cabin assignments. Cabin assignments are made according to the camper’s gender at birth.

Many of the staff of Camp Hope were campers in the past as children and now desire to minister to the children that are now coming to camp. Cabin leaders are chosen for their spiritual maturity and the ability to interact with the campers. Staff must turn in two references each year with one being a personal reference that is not a family member and the second reference must come their church’s local leadership. The Program Director will also talk with the potential staff member to determine where they stand spiritually, how their walk with the Lord has been and their ability to present the gospel in a very clear way according to biblical standards.

The parents’ signature on the registration form gives permission for the campers to attend supervised off camp activities or field trips along with all activities on camp property including the zip line.
All claims for medical services must be submitted to the camper’s parents’ or guardian’s insurance company first. Then any unpaid balance may be paid by Camp Hope’s limited insurance policy. The parent or guardian will be primarily responsible for routine or emergency medical expenses.

Camp Hope’s support comes through two main avenues.  About 50% comes from camper registration fees, and 50% comes from donations from individuals and local churches. If you would like to fellowship with camp in this way to help with general expenses or to designate a gift toward specific needs such as camper scholarships, please click here.

For Home School, Junior, and Teen Camps, each camper will have the opportunity to earn a patch for team points. Patches are earned by reciting Scripture memory verses, taking notes during chapel, and having a good attitude. The verses for each year can be found here.

All electronic devices will be collected upon arrival. Feel free to stay in touch with your camper by sending letters or packages! The Camp Hope phone may be used to contact campers or parents/guardians in case of emergency.
