Summer Helpers - Camp Hope, Buckhorn Camp, Bellvue, Colorado

Submitted by Rhonda Leonard
Director, Camp Hope

Camp Hope has served adults with unique physical and developmental gifts and abilities for almost 40 years. Started in 1979, Camp Hope is a Christian summer camp which strives to open a new world of possibilities to these special individuals. 

This year, Camp Hope is hosting camps June 18-22 and June 25-29. They are in need of more helpers - especially for the second camp. This year we have received many new applications for male campers than we have in many years. We would love to have strong, positive, Christian men with a desire to befriend and mentor these campers. We would also love to have a few more women that could help with the needs of our campers throughout the week.

Requirements for volunteers: 

• Positive relationship with God
• A heart to serve others
• Willing to help persons with disabilities
• Age 13 or older* ( volunteers under the age of 18 will be teamed with an adult) 
  *Students looking for volunteer hours could easily earn over 100 hours of volunteer time for the week!
