Post-Camp Update
Good evening!
Camp HOPE Tennessee 2019 came to a close on Friday, July 26th. We are proud to say that it was a HUGE success. We witnessed so much growth and transformation in our campers. We watched campers learn that kindness, cooperation, and support create opportunities for fun. We saw the impact of meaningful relationships between campers and their counselors. We witnessed JOY on children's faces as they flew across the zip line, canoed, or jumped into the pool for the first time. We were amazed by kids' creativity in theatre, dance, and artistic endeavors.
We are truly in awe of the Camp HOPE family that was created this past week. None of it would have been possible without the generosity of people like you who were willing to believe in the cause! On behalf of our leadership team, campers, and counselors, THANK YOU for your contribution.
