After School
REGISTRATION OPEN FOR 2019-2020 ACADEMIC YEAR
Our goal is to provide the highest quality child centered programming, while strengthening the child’s connection to the natural world through daily play and discovery. At New Hope Camp, children will engage in unstructured active free play to develop healthy bodies, creative minds, emotional stability, and strong social skills. A natural curiosity for the natural for the environment and ongoing exploration of the world around them are all possible on our beautiful private 165 acre campus. New Hope Camp is a place for kids to get a chance to be kids. We get outside and explore.

It’s in Your Backyard March 30th – April 3rd
Say what….Is that really in my back yard? New Hope Camp is our back yard and we want to share it with you. Discover the animals that live in our back yard, on the ground, trees, and in our lake as we hike around camp. We will take a trip to the River Walk in Hillsborough, make bird feeders and place them around camp, and of course make s’mores in our backyard fire pit.
