Opportunities to Donate/Sponsor the Winter Retreats!

Even the full cost to campers does not cover all of the expenses associated with transporting, feeding, housing, and provding program for our retreats. For that reason, we invite sponsorships (or camperships) to help us offset the costs of the retreat while keeping everything affordable to families regardless of the financial situation. With every campership of at least $50, individuals who donate will recieve their own 2024 Hope Retreat sweatshirt. Click the donation links below and thank you in advance for your continued support!
