Purpose & Program
The purpose of this camp is to Glorify Jesus Christ... By Teaching fundamental truths of God's Word and Christian principles, By providing healthful recreation under a Christian influence, By cultivating a greater appreciation of outdoor life, and By promoting a growing fellowship among Free Will Baptists in the state of Illinois.
The program at Camp Hope is Christ-centered, Bible-based, and evangelistic. Bible Study, Christian living, music, missions, and crafts are included in the curriculum. Daily recreational activities may include basketball, volleyball and other games in the gym, swimming in the camp's pool and softball or baseball on one of the camp's Fields. Chapel services each morning and an evening service of worship and preaching make up the major emphasis of seeking God's will for our lives and knowing Him better.
