Camp Hope 2026 - Returning Adult Volunteers

Volunteer

We require medical forms from all adults participating in camp. Following this registration submission and approval of your service at camp, you will be emailed a link to complete your full medical information digitally.

Please indicate the days you would be available to volunteer. Full weeks are most helpful so thank you in advance for your consideration of joining for the entire week. Also, please note that volunteers serving at the beginning of the week are asked to arrive on Saturday (a day before campers arrive) for training and camp setup.

Please provide the name and contact information of an adult reference (not family) who is familiar with your character, faith, & personality and who can answer questions connected to application to serve at Camp Hope. All volunteers should use this space to list the name, phone/cell, email and nature of your relationship of your reference.

At Camp Hope it is extremely important that our focus and efforts are on the children and our service. If you are currently dating someone who will also be serving at Camp Hope, we ask you to refrain from exclusive affection and time together while serving at camp.

Camp Hope is a Catholic-Christian camp. Given the level of influence of our volunteers it is essential that all volunteers are striving to live a moral life and are active in their Christian faith.

As a Staff Member for Camp Hope, I understand that it is my responsibility to fulfill my commitment to serve while relying upon God's grace and empowerment. Meaningful and positive interaction with campers will be my main priority! Both fellow staff members and campers will be observing my conduct and therefore it is important to be a positive, Christian role model at all times. With this in mind, I realize that I am expected to: • Perform my assigned responsibilities to the best of my ability. • Support campers in their relationship with Jesus. • Seek and respect adult direction and supervision whenever necessary. (This is expected of everyone who is involved with camp!) • Encourage healthy interactions and discussions (no negative humor, swearing, gossip, etc.), thus providing opportunities for appropriate fun and fellowship. • Model proper behavior/speech that is beneficial to the entire camp experience and follow the clothing guidelines set forth in the dress code • Will not use alcohol, tobacco or any other mind-altering substance • Be punctual for all scheduled assignments, arriving at a particular location prior to the requested time. • I will adhere to the camp curfews set forth for me at camp. • I will refrain from using cell phones, iPods, electronic devices, etc., at camp. (as is expected of the campers.) By signing below, I certify that: • All the information in this application is true to the best of my knowledge. • I understand that Camp Hope staff will assign a role for me that they consider to be most helpful to the camp mission. • I agree to abide by all Camp Hope policies and guidelines. I also understand that choosing not to follow these policies and conduct guidelines during camp could result in my dismissal (Parents would be responsible for transportation.) I realize that it is the responsibility of the Camp Hope Directors to make this type of decision and that I would be responsible for supporting such a decision. • Camp Hope is indeed a priority in my summer schedule and that I must confirm with any summer employer my personal availability for this position at the beginning of my employment.
