Camp Hope
Camp Hope is a day program that offers swimming, sports, music, nature, art and field trips. Located on seven wooded, fenced acres in East Hanover, Camp Hope provides a structured, caring and supportive environment that brings together campers, counselors and volunteers for fun, personal growth and “memories that last a lifetime.”

The camp hosts many special events, including a carnival, Olympic-style events and special activities on Fridays. There are picnic groves, volleyball and softball fields, a playground, a covered pavilion, a beautiful inground pool and a recreation building for indoor and rainy day activities.
