What's Included

Overview

Camp Hope is one of our many efforts based in North America. Each year, Maranatha works with organizations in the United States and Canada to provide volunteer labor for various construction or renovation projects. On this project, Camp Hope, a Christian camp that is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, is in need of volunteers who will help with many repairs around the camp including: building a large washroom, a picnic area, lifting cabins and building concrete and block foundations under them. They need help with flooring, painting, installing windows, new cabinets, closets, bathroom sinks, and upgrading existing cabins, amongst many other renovations in the 72 room guest lodge. There is a lot to be accomplished, and Maranatha volunteers will be a huge blessing to this camp facility.
