Youth groups applied to attend CAMP HOPE for one week over the summer.  Youth groups were able to bring as few as 5 team members and as many as 24 team members.  

Costs included: lodging, work supplies, breakfast and dinner, and most activities. 

For context, pricing for the summer of 2025:

Application fee - $150

Per camper - $325

Per team - $900 (for a team of 5 or 6) 

Additional campers over 6 per team - $50 per camper 

A team was comprised of two adult leaders and 3-6 youth.  Churches were able to bring multiple teams to CAMP provided they have the adult leadership and youth participation necessary.  Teams of 6 members (2 adults and 4 youth) were considered "full" teams.  An additional fee was added for team members above 6.  

Work projects were chosen based on the skills and background of the adults leaders on the team.  Each team of adult leaders was asked to complete a skills questionnaire the winter prior to CAMP.  The Projects Team compiled this information and cross-compared it to homeowner needs to choose work projects for each team.  No experience required for the adult leaders!  Projects spanned from painting, landscaping, flooring, roofing, cement work, and simple construction to plumbing, electrical work, handicap ramps, porches, or additions to houses.  Each team was given a project vetted by the Projects team to ensure the safety of our campers and adult leaders.  Each project was expected to be completed within the week the campers attend camp.
