Frequently asked questions
What can I expect at Renewed Hope Family Camp?
At Renewed Hope Family Camp our goal is to blend teaching and growth with a fun family vacation and fellowship with like-minded believers. Each day will have teaching and group discussion time for all ages in the morning, and optional fun activities led by staff members throughout the afternoon and evening. Later in the evening we will all gather together again to worship and be encouraged in the Word. There will be plenty of time to grow in your relationships as a family, as well as to build and deepen relationships with fellow campers.
Where is Renewed Hope Family Camp held?
We will be using the facilities at HopeWood Shores in northeast Ohio, located at 3901 Lake Road, Conneaut, OH 44030. Right on the shores of Lake Erie, this campground is very family-friendly and boasts some of the most beautiful sunsets you'll ever see!
Who is invited?
This camp is designed with homeschool families in mind, but we welcome any Christian families and couples, whether they have children or not.
What is the theme for camp in 2025?
Our theme for 2025 is Living with Vision! We will be learning about God's vision for His people, and how we can practically apply that in our individual lives, family relationships and communities.
Do you offer discounts or scholarships?
Several discounts are available, including for early registration and for volunteering (more info available under the question How can I get involved?).
We hope to be able to offer a limited number of scholarships for families in need. If you are interested in receiving one, please reach out to us.
If you would like to donate to our scholarship fund, so that another family can attend camp, please send us an email!
What is included with the cost of camp?
We have done everything possible to keep this event affordable for all sizes of families! We are excited to say that the registration cost covers all meals, lodging, sessions, and other organized activities! Lodging consists of private cabins for each family, with a half-bath included, and centrally located shower facilities.
If your family has allergies, dietary restrictions, or other unique needs, we will do our best to accomodate without any increase to the cost of camp.
What makes you different from other family camps?
Our unique approach seeks to create a balance between teaching sessions and intentional growth, and relaxed family fun, resulting in a family vacation full of purpose and enjoyment. We also offer a balance of organized activities and unstructured free time to ensure the whole family can enjoy as much rest or engagement as they like.
When will 2025 family camp be held?
Arrival for camp is in the afternoon of Tuesday, August 19, 2025, and departure is after lunch on Saturday the 23rd.
Even if you are unable to make it for the entirety of camp, we welcome you to come of as much as you can! Cost can be adjusted based on the number of nights stayed and meals eaten.
