Camp Hope Counselors…

Camp Hope counselors are carefully selected Christian ,college age students, from all over the US and even the world. We choose staff who have character and compassion. They participate in 2 weeks of training before camp. Here they gain the knowledge and skills necessary to work effectively and safely with disabled children in a camp setting. A 2:1 camper/counselor ratio is maintained to ensure that each camper receives personal attention.

Camp Hope offers five one-week sessions for children, two sessions for adults and one small family session. Each session serves a different population. (One session serves children and teens with physical disabilities who are cognitively average, two serve ambulatory campers who have mild developmental disabilities and two others serve multi-handicapped children & teens who are moderately to severely mentally retarded) The adult sessions are designed for previous campers who grow up and wish to continue in a more intense Bible program.
