Prayer Coordinator: We need a volunteer who is willing and eager to help us build our network of prayer supporters. Help us enlist new recruits, compile prayer requests for the ministry and distribute them to those who stand with us in prayer. Please let us know of your interest by phone or e-mail.

Prayer Supporters: Anyone committed to praying regularly for the ministry of Hope's Haven and willing to respond to urgent alerts, especially during camp. We covet your prayers! Please let us know of your interest by contacting us. For a complete, up-to-date list of prayer requests, please click here. Or, to receive prayer requests by email, click here.


Financial Support: As with all ministries, funds are needed. As we look to the Lord to expand camp, we need to purchase more camping equipment, food, supplies, etc. For just $300, you can sponsor a child for the week. For a detailed list of giving opportunities, click here. We appreciate your generousity. God has been so good!


Counselors: We are looking for volunteers who have a desire to minister to hurting children and share Christ's love with them. Counselors must be at least 21 years of age, complete an application process and be interviewed by Hope's Haven board members. We expect -- and our campers deserve -- to see Christ-like character clearly demonstrated in the lives of counselors. We adhere to a camper/counselor ratio of 2:1. To apply to serve as a counselor, please complete this Camp Staff Application 2012 PDF or a Camp Staff Application 2012 Word Document and accompanying paperwork.

Junior Counselors: Junior counselors are 16 to 20 years of age and assist in many ways during the week of camp. If you have a heart to serve and share Christ's love and enjoy camping and outdoors activities, pray about volunteering as a junior counselor. During a typical week of camp, we need six junior counselors. To apply to serve as a counselor, please complete this Camp Staff Application 2012 PDF or a Camp Staff Application 2012 Word Document and accompanying paperwork. Junior Counselors must have a Criminal History Check (which can be found here) and a Child Abuse History Clearance (which can be downloaded here).
