New Hope Camp and Conference Center
Friends of New Hope Camp and Conference Center
Begun in 1948 as a camp for youth, we have a proud 57 year history and heritage to celebrate and to advance. We hope you will continue to be a part of this place as members of a newly formed Friends of New Hope Camp and Conference Center!
You are invited to join our efforts as a Friend of New Hope Camp and Conference Center. The Friends organaization will help to create new programs, spruce up the camp through financial contribution, share ideas for providing leadership activities with and for youth, and broaden the ways we serve the Triangle Community. Our Board, representing 6 area Presbyterian Churches, has organized new committees for specific tasks relative to our goals. As our organization moves forward, we need your help and support.
In 2005 NHCCC had a total of 498 camper weeks for our summer camp. That is up from 434 in 2004 and 232 in 2003. Our staff was the best we have seen in 4 summers here. Their ideas and our campers' responses are helping to guide our planning for summer 2006. Our campers spend 1 to 9 weeks playing, learning, laughing and growing together in a loving faith community. Our summer of songs, games, and devotions help our campers appreciate the natural world around them, one another and God's role in all of that. Likewise, our retreat business grew this fall as compared to last. Over the past year, over 6,600 people have enjoyed retreats, meetings, conferences, weddings and reunions here. New Hope Camp is a place that so many enjoy. Help us continue to be that quiet place in our world where people can come together in community with one another and with God.
Rick Ufford-Chase, current Moderator of the Presbyterian Church(USA) denominations is excited about the potentials of our Presbyterian camp and conference centers. He wrote: "I'm glad that so many in my generation and my parents' generation had transforming experiences in our camps, but that's not a compelling reason to keep them alive. A compelling reason to live looks to the future and tells us how our witness to the world will be distinctive because we continue to value and treasure these properties that God has entrusted to us." This is central to our challenge. Will you help us meet it with your prayers, gifts, time, and talents?
We realize that over the past year, many charitable organizations have needed your support. The recent natural disasters have wrecked much havoc and much is needed to help victims in our country and beyond. But, please consider what you can offer locally this coming year to New Hope Camp and Conference Center.
Consider all the ways in which you can give to camp and help us perpetuate our mission, vision and ministry in this place. We cannot do it alone. We want you, the people of our community, to be involved in this camp and conference center. Please contact us with questions or ideas. We appreciate your support and we look forward to serving you in this ministry.
