Approximately 40-60 youth & 25-35 staff from all over the US & Canada attend each camp. This small youth to staff ratio allows the staff to provide a safe environment where mentorship relationships can thrive.

Power of Hope strives to bring together youth and staff from all walks of life. At every camp we strive to bring together a truly diverse group of youth and staff, aiming for the inclusion of diversity of all kinds: ethnic, cultural, religion, class, personality, life experience, and more. Spending a week in community and connection leads to powerful conversations, meaningful friendships, a deep learning.

Camps take place in beautiful natural settings in Washington and British Columbia. Youth have many opportunities to explore the natural world through outdoor education workshops, hiking, and swimming or tubing on the river. Depending on the facilities at our various sites, youth either stay overnight in cabins or tents.

Each of our sites has spacious and inviting facilities for group meetings and workshops. Our fabulous chefs prepare nourishing and delicious meals for everyone. Overall, teens and staff are nurtured, body and soul, throughout the week!
