Hope Church Family Camp 2026

Hope Church Family Camp

June 17-20, 2026

 

Join us for our 6th annual Family Camp! We have reserved the entire group camp loop for Hope Church family, so bring your friends, your tents, and your sense of adventure! We hope for delightful shared experiences and pray this helps us grow in familial love and joy.

Planned activities are minimal but include nightly group meals, games, devotions, campfires, s’mores, a day at the beach, and lots and lots of fellowship time. You can hike every trail in the area or sip lemonade from a lawn chair. It is good to be together.

T-shirts are available for purchase with registration - t-shirts are passed out the first day of camp, unless you pick them up in the church office on June 15th or 16th. This year we will order heather blue t-shirts!  Deadline for t-shirt order is May 28th.

This is not luxury camping, as Pinewoods Campground is a no-frills site with NO electricity. There are potable water stations and vault toilets at the site, and a short hike will get you to flush toilets and showers - even shorter if you hop in the car.

• Check-out: before 1 pm on Saturday, June 20, 2026. Arrive late or leave early, as desired.
