Camp Hope Haven

This camp is a blessing & I pray it continues for many years to come. My twins 2nd year here & it’s so much fun and they meet so many friends. The counselors are amazing. Thank you!!!

Wow!! I went there for 3 summers in a row back in the mid to late 70's but sadly I got kicked out for fighting the last year. But I loved it. I remember learning how to ride a horse and name every part of the saddle and bridle, which I'm pretty sure I still rememberif given multiple choice... I remember learning how to take your Jean's off in the pool to make yourself a make shift float out of them. I cherish the memories❤. Ohhh and I remember rolling over in my sleep and falling off the top bunk onto the ground. Amazingly didnt hurt myself. And of course they had worship every night for an hour. It's where I learned John 3:16 by heart word for word till this day lol. Thank you for the fond memories

Hope Haven was a blessing to my brother and I we lived there for nearly 2 years and was the most postive time of our lives , the summer camp taught us swimming, horse back riding and many arts and crafts as well as mentoring to be better people. God bless the people who work so hard for these children

I spent many summers here; I started going when I was about 9 or 10 and continued all the way until I was 15. While I never ended up being a counselor like I wanted to be, I did have plenty of fun in the years I spent there. The activities were always super fun and I always left wishing that we could stay more than the 5 days. To be honest, I would rate 5 stars if not for the fact that the last time I came, one of the counselors left an extremely bad taste in my mouth. Over the years, my belief in God has always had its ups and downs, however, this counselor almost made my belief plummet completely. As I have forgotten her name, I will refer to her as "A" to make it easier. The situation was that a fellow camper of mine had asked for help with a problem; at home, there was a classmate who had been harassing and borderline stalking her. "A" got mad at her, saying something to the effect that God actually wanted for this 13 year old girl to be harassed and that it was sinful to even try to fix it. My faith, for personal reasons, had already been hanging by a thread and "A", while not directing her statement at me, practically had scissors ready to snip at my last bit of hope. However, thankfully, another counselor, who I will call "B" as I forgot her name too, had also weighed in; this one responded beautifully, giving the camper advice that would genuinely solve the problem, tying it up with a quote and a statement about how God loves her and that through Him, she can overcome her situation. I honestly believe that the response that "B" gave is what helped me hold on and not lose all faith. I would absolutely love to give Camp Hope Haven five stars, however, the memory of the one counselor's treatment of a camper is sadly one that will not go away anytime soon. However, this is very uncharacteristic of Camp Hope Haven counselors. Out of the five or so years I was in attendance, all of the other counselors I had seen had treated the campers wonderfully. Please do not mistake this outlier as the norm; the vast majority of counselors are wonderful people who bring girls closer to God.

Great ministry. Nice facility.
