Youth : Camps and Retreats

Summer Camp for Middle School Students

Each summer, New Hope Middle School youth attend camp at Cran-Hill Ranch in Rodney, MI, a ministry of the Reformed Church in America. Camp programs promote family and Christian fellowship in an atmosphere conducive to spiritual and physical development.

This summer's camping trip for all youth entering 6th through 9th grades will be Sunday, July 8 through Friday, July 13. Youth who participate in Sunday School or Youth Group and help with youth fundraisers can attend camp at a reduced cost of $200, with New Hope Church covering the rest. New Hope will also provide transportation to the camp and back. If you are not currently active in New Hope's youth program, email Bob Cline to find out how you can get involved.

We never want anyone to miss this experience because of the expense, so scholarships are available. If you have this need, please email Bob Cline or call 614.766.5445 for more information. Be assured that scholarships are kept in the strictest of confidence.

To register, please print and complete the registration form. Submit your completed forms and $200 payment (checks payable to New Hope Church) to:

Genesis Senior High Retreat

On even numbered years, our senior high youth travel to Traverse City, Michigan for the Genesis Retreat, sponsored by the Reformed Church in America. Weekend activities include nationally known speakers, bands, a talent show, and games. Youth share this weekend of spiritual growth with 2,000 other teenagers at the Grand Traverse Resort. Watch for more information on the next Genesis event, tentatively scheduled for March 2014.
