Camp NH Story

Over the summer many kids from all 3 campuses went to Camp New Hope.

Our very own Dylan Counts loved it.  He writes...
I loved camp! One of my favorite parts was canoeing and riding a horse and maybe, well NOT maybe...I LOVED shoe-dini!!! I liked being on the top bunk of Elm cabin. I loved going to bed at 10:00pm and waking up at 7:00am. Even though I felt like 2 hours of sleep, it was still fun!

Thank you, New Hope, for letting me go to camp!

 His parents did too...
We were blessed to have our son, Dylan, go to camp this year. This was his first year ever going to camp and when we asked him if he was interested, he told us he would try it out for a day!! Needless to say, it was one of the best weeks of his life!

As a parent, with your kid away, it was great to see pictures throughout the week at camp! We looked forward to pictures being posted each night of the different activities of the day! We also liked the idea of being able to send emails and care packages to the kids!

Our Dylan got hurt the last night at camp. It was nothing major, but they called us once he was cleaned up to let us know what happened and let us decide how we wanted to handle it. We appreciated the call to let us know what was going on and to let us, as parents, do what we felt was necessary.

From the time he was checked in to the time he left, everything was very organized! We were very impressed with the way things ran and as a parent, those things are important to us.

We are thankful that Dylan had the opportunity to go to camp and for the life-long experience that he was able to get from it!

Thank you,
Jason and Traci Counts
Don't miss out on Camp New Hope next summer!

PS - I think you can find some footage of Shoe-dini on Facebook.
