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 from 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.
