Hope Bay Bible Camp / Haven of Hope runs a wide variety of fun and creative camps throughout the summer.  All of our camp programs are designed to give kids a fun and exciting experience that will create lasting memories and friendships.

We offer a wide variety of activities throughout the different camps, including hiking, swimming, tubing, canoeing, archery, fencing, sailing, power boating, and much more… 

Our staff is trained to challenge the kids to do more than they ever thought they could, while keeping things safe and fun.  The kids will be challenged to stretch themselves mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Every activity we do is focused on introducing the kids to Jesus Christ and showing them God’s love. Whether sharing experiences with a cabin, acting out skits with a team, or tubing behind a powerboat, these are weeks that your kids won’t forget!

Island Challenge Out-trip

(July 9-14)

NEW for 2007!
For campers ages 13-16, this camp provides a great get-a-way and a chance to enjoy nature. This out-trip group will canoe around The Penders, with a few detours to other beautiful gulf islands in the vicinity.  The group will tent most evenings and even get to experience making its own food!  

With a higher staff to camper ratio, this camp is more relational and tight knit. Experience new things while creating friendships and memories that will last long after the canoes have been taken out of the water! 

 *Warning* ~ If you sign up for this camp, you must be in good physical condition and ready to canoe for a week.

If you are interested in fishing there will be no extra cost, but the camper will need to bring picture ID to the camp with them so that a license can be obtained.  (student ID cards with pictures will be acceptable).

Pender Island Performing Arts 

(July 16-21)

With a focus on drama, Pender Island Performing Arts will give kids, ages 11 & up, the chance to learn about their creative talents in an environment where it is safe to step out and try new things.  The campers will be learning all aspects of creating, rehearsing and performing a play.  Skills included will be acting, singing, directing, stage & set design, and construction. 

All of this will be done in a beautiful setting with chances to do other activities such as boating, hiking, sports, etc.  Pender Island Performing Arts is an opportunity to learn about themselves while creating lasting friendships and memories.
