Join Us as a Member

This camp was created by people who care about what we do. At first, most were parents of children with special needs. Now, our members include special education professionals, legislators, friend of campers, and other people who believe that the best community is one in which everyone has a chance to succeed. Our members are the backbone of the camp. To download a membership form, click here. Members contribute at least $25 per year and stay informed about the camp. They are eligible to elect our Board of Directors. Members celebrate with us and fight for us, too.

Volunteer

Volunteers built Camp New Hope, and volunteer opportunities are plentiful here. Many people volunteer to help during summer camp, and find themselves wanting to come back again and again. Our Board of Directors is made up of volunteers who share their professional expertise and leadership talent. College and high school students may wish to volunteer for a day to find out more about employment opportunities in the field of human services.

A delightful and special way to volunteer is as an entertainer. Do you play music? Can you demonstrate a dance? Do you like to tell stories, paint faces or put on a puppet show?

If you are interested in helping us in any way, please contact the Camp New Hope Office at (217) 895-2341.
