What is Camp Hope?

In the summer of 1999, Rev. Diane Parrish had a vision to find a new and exciting way to minister to the families of men and women who are incarcerated. Noting that inmates' children are one of the most overlooked groups of children in North America, she founded a special camp just for them! The purpose of Camp Hope® is to help each child learn they are precious in God's eyes and to provide a positive, fun-filled week away from the worries of their world. Activities include Kickin' Kidz worship, crafts, outdoor sports, swimming, singing,campfires and MUCH MORE!
