Shannon’s Hope Camp

This is camp – but not camping. Campers stay with other kids & counselors in a cabin with heat/air conditioning, a bathroom, a shower & a bunk bed all with a view of the ocean.

Going to camp means making new friends. Campers are placed in groups of 6-10 peers throughout the workshops, activities and meals so they will get plenty of hang time.

Just the essentials – a sleeping bag & pillow, towel, change of clothes, flashlight, sunscreen & toiletries.

Meals and snacks provided including heaping portions of pancakes, eggs, yogurt, cinnamon rolls, hamburgers, chicken fingers, a salad bar, mac & cheese, fresh fruit, granola bars, and desserts. The cafeteria is peanut-free and vegetarian & gluten-free options are available.

Each youth is matched with a caring adult who will help them get settled in, attend workshops with them, listen when they need to talk, & hang out together throughout camp. All volunteers undergo an extensive background check & receive training.

Your child may have a lot to share after camp so we encourage you to plan some time afterwards to ask them about their experience and be prepared to listen for a while if possible. And don’t worry, we’ll prepare you with information about what they did & even some suggested questions you might ask to get the conversation going.
