Volunteer Testimonials:

"Camp Hope rocks because you'll make friends that last a lifetime! I still have friends from camp that I met over 22 years ago. We still send each other emails and talk on the phone throughout the year. The week at camp is jam-packed with fun from the moment the campers arrive! I start looking forward to the next camp the week after the current one ends. Well, maybe there's a day or two buffer, but I still get excited soon after it's over!"

Jeremy Hazzard, former camper and current volunteer

I found out about camp through a friend who was a camper and is now a volunteer. He told me that it would change my life...he was absolutely right! Camp Hope was awesome – great campers, fantastic cooks, outstanding facilities, and unbelievable volunteers – you couldn't ask for a better camp experience. Most of all, there is something special about Camp Hope that really makes it memorable, and that is the kids! These kids have gone through one of life's hardest battles and to see them having the time of their lives with other kids that have experienced what they've gone through is one of the most gratifying things that I've experienced. Camp Hope now holds a part of me and will for a long time to come.

"Camp Hope is one of the most magical places I have been. The combination of the wonderful kids, the energetic and caring staff, and the support of the entire community all make the camp the special place that it is. Thanks to the incredible line up of activities and the positive energy of the staff and volunteers, camp is fun and upbeat, from the singing at the breakfast table to the campers' late-night chats and giggles with their bunk-mates. I am already looking forward to next year!"

Katie Mourning, M.D., volunteer

“As a family physician, Camp Hope reinforces in me all of the reasons that I wanted to be a doctor in the first place.  It's not about treating illness but about helping people live life to its fullest and to enjoy that journey as much as possible.”

Andy Bukaty, M.D., volunteer
