Are you interested in becoming a camp counselor for Camp Hope? We are looking for some incredible individuals to join us as a Camp Counselor or Camp Volunteerfrom Friday, March 21st to Sunday, March 23rd, 2025, at Camp Jekyll.

Camp Hope offers a valuable experience for children dealing with grief. It provides a supportive environment where they can express their emotions, share their experiences with others, and learn to navigate their feelings. Our Camp Hope volunteers are invaluable, supporting programs by assisting dorm parents, helping with meals, engaging in games, and teaching skills to campers. Residential volunteers serve on-site as counselors and program staff, acting as role models and mentors.

What Is Camp Hope?

Hospice of South Georgia, Inc. provides an annual bereavement camp for students in grades 1-12 who are trying to cope with a significant loss in their lives. Camp Hope will promote a journey through the grief process. Camp Hope helps students recognize that grief is a natural response to losing a loved one and find healing by offering a comfortable and safe environment, allowing free expression of their feelings and loss.

Students attending Camp Hope will participate in a variety of activities alongside others their age who are dealing with emotions and feelings of loss much like their own. They will also be grouped with caring counselors who are trained to offer support and valuable information as they journey through the grieving process. Students will be encouraged to express their feelings and emotions at their own comfort levels, and in turn better understand those feelings associated with grief and bereavement. Professional staff is also available to students and their families following the camp to continue to assist with any grief or bereavement related needs.
