Hope Day Camp is a faith-based day camp that welcomes children and families of all backgrounds and beliefs!

• Campers can attend from any school district or zip code!  
  • For K-6th graders: 6 weeks of daily activities including devotions, science, arts and crafts, music, challenge courses, gym time, free time and more.  
  • For 7th Graders: Our Next Generation Hope Day Camp is all the traditional fun of 6 weeks of day camp but on another level as these students begin to transition from campers to future Day Camp staff! 7th graders can expect MORE fun, games, reflection, and personal development! 
  • For Potty Trained 3-5 year olds: During Week 4 (July 27-30) we invite 3-5 year olds to attend a half day (8:30am-11:30am)opportunity to get a taste of camp featuring breakfast, music, art, science, games and more! 
• Our K-7th graders attend Monday- Thursday from 8:30am-3pm and are served both breakfast and lunch.
• Every week campers can go swimming at Pioneer Middle School and 4 of the 6 weeks we go on a camp wide field trip (past field trips have included Letchworth State Park, A&A Train, Buffalo Zoo, Charcoal Coral, a Bisons Game and more!)
• Your child can attend one, some or all six weeks!  We are not able to accommodate partial week attendance. 
• All campers are required to be up-to-date on school vaccines.
