Camp New Hope

Camp New Hope is a summer day camp for children and teens ages 6-17 who are coping with the loss of a loved one.
 
Besides offering traditional camp activities such as crafts, water games, and sports, Camp New Hope gives children the chance to work through their grief and loss with their peers. Thanks to generous supporters, we are able to offer Camp New Hope free of charge, including lunch and snacks.
