About Camp Hope
Camp Hope 2012 - July 14-20 -- Click here for applications!
Thank you for your interest in applying for a counselor position at Camp Hope 2012! The Counselor Applications will be available on our website in two weeks. In the meantime, we want to make you aware of some important changes we have made to our application process. Over the past several summers, Camp Hope has grown such that now we have more applicants than there are counselor spots available. To manage this and to help alleviate waiting lists from developing, we will review all counselor applications after the deadline, before making final selections rather than accept applications on a first-come, first-serve basis. By so doing, we ensure that everyone has the same opportunity to be considered, as long as applications are in on time. New this year will be an interview process. This will be take place after we receive all possible applications. Keep in mind that during the application process, interviews, references and prior Camp Hope experience and feedback will all be considered.
After much prayer and consideration, we feel that this new process will provide all applicants an equal opportunity to serve at Camp Hope and more importantly, provide a quality experience for our campers. Please feel free to give us a call or send us an e-mail if you have any questions about the change in process. We look forward to receiving your applications once they are available online in two weeks!
Blessings,
Rev. Diane Parrish, President and Founder
Cris Hunt, Director Programs

2011 Camp Hope Counselor Survey

Camp Hope is specially designed for the rising fourth, fifth and sixth grade children of men and women who are serving time in a federal, state or local prison system. So, if your child has completed the third, fourth or fifth grade this year, they may attend.
Camp Hope offers a special six-day (Sunday through Friday) camp where children experience love, tenderness, strength and above all, FUN.
Our goal is to provide plenty of food, songs and FUN - but most of all, to help these campers understand that no matter what their circumstances are, no matter what paths others in their lives have taken, that they are precious children of God with a special future of their own -- that there is HOPE!!
