The heart of our ministry has always been that we never want finances to be the reason a student cannot attend camp. In an effort to be transparent about what it costs to send a student to camp, we have included a breakdown below of all the unseen costs of hosting an event like summer camp. We have also included ways for members of our church to contribute to our scholarship fund, so that more students can have the chance to encounter the Lord at camp.
COST BREAKDOWN
These are projected costs for camp 2024! All of these have been broken down to a per student level.
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Every year NHS gives out scholarships for both our winter and summer camp. Because of the amazing hearts of our congregation we are able to help students attend camp. If you are interested in giving towards our camp scholarship fund please click the link below.
IDEAS FOR FUNDRAISING
As with many things, the cost of your trip can be daunting! This year, we are encouraging our students to fundraise to cover their cost for camp. We want to equip you with ideas to fundraise for camp. Check below for some fundraising ideas that we as a staff have found success with in the past.
ENCOUNtERS
We start every day off with Encounters, a special time where students can have alone time with God and dive into His word. This is the perfect opportunity for your student to deepen their faith and build a personal relationship with God.
SESSIONS
Students will gather together to worship and hear sermons that are specifically tailored to there age group. Your student will leave feeling changed and ready to face the challenges of everyday life.
LIFEGROUPS
At Lifegroups, your student will spend time with their cabin, hear God's word, and have life-giving conversations. This is a great opportunity for your student to build relationships with their peers and grow in their faith.
BREAKOUTS
Breakouts are led by a Students staff member, who will guide them through intentional topics to help them grow in their faith in Jesus. Your student will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions with their peers.
HYPE HOUSE
Hype House consists of four teams or "houses" named Honor, Valor, Might, and Havoc. Each house has one representative who participates in various games during the camp while their house cheers them on to earn points.
HOUSE RALLY
At House Rally, students will work on team building and creating chants for their team to shout throughout camp. This is a great opportunity for your student to show their team spirit and bond with their peers.
Gauntlet
Gauntlet is our way of doing late night rec. During gauntlet students will compete as a team in games against the other houses to gain more points for the DUB. This is a thrilling and competitive activity that will bring out the best in your student.
Free time
Every afternoon students will go to free time. This is their time to hangout in the lake, climb the rock wall, conquer the zipline, and so much more! This is a chance for your student to unwind, have fun, and create unforgettable memories.

“Camp is the most filling experience I have been apart of throughout my life. Camp led me to a much deeper relationship with God, through things like worship, sermons, and community. Those life giving relationships I have made at camp will last a life time, and I encourage anyone on the fence to take that step out of your comfort zone!”
-Joseph Garcia (Student)
“Leading at church camp is a distinctly unique opportunity to escape the harsh, sometimes hopeless, feelings that permeate our lives today and witness the joy of the Lord at work in our young people. It’s an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Christ, shaping the experiences of those that will one day lead our communities while pouring into them love and wisdom, building them up so that they can be confident in who they are as a child of God. It’s also really really fun!!”
-Alyssa DeLaCruz (Leader)
Camp with New Hope has provided a wonderful way for students to connect with other students who love God as they strengthen their relationship and find their “One”.
