Camp Hope is the best option for those looking to volunteer in the New Orleans area. Lodging and meals are offered at a very affordable daily rate, and the staff goes out of their way to welcome you and ensure your stay is a comfortable one. I would definitely stay at Camp Hope again.

Camp Hope has been an excellent partner as we bring college students from New England during their spring break. The accommodations, food, and staff are terrific and our staff and students are already looking forward to returning in 2016.

Camp hope was completely flooded when Katrina hit. They reopened so that volunteer groups could have a place to say while they so graciously volunteer their time to help rebuild the New Orleans area. I worked for 5 days with St. Bernard Project rebuilding homes and i stayed at camp hope for 7 nights. It's no 5 star hotel but we helped in the kitchen, with chores, played ping pong and pool and its a great place full of ever more amazing people. If you're going to humble yourself and volunteer your time this is the perfect place to stay. My college group and I had absolutely 0 problems in our week long stay. I cant wait to go back!!! Don't forget, If you go with a group or even just by yourself, make sure to buy and paint/ decorate your very own ceiling tile! ;)

I have stayed with Camp Hope multiple times during mission trips to NOLA. They are wonderful. I have had teams as small as 8 people to as many as 24 people, and their service never varies. Everyone is taken care of in an environment that feels safe and secure.

The volunteer program was very impactful for both our students and staff and the people we met and worked with were very welcoming and made us feel at home.

We are coming up on our 4th stay with Camp Hope in Arabi (this is our 13th trip rebuilding trip). You can't beat the price...$25-28 a day with 2-3 meals a day. Washers & dryers on site, enough showers & toilets so you are not waiting. The bedrooms are all bunkbed rooms; takes a little getting used to the first night or so sharing with a room of people, but you get into the groove in no time. Clean up after yourself is the only request they have of you :-). Staff at Camp Hope, and the Gathering, are fantastic.

We have been coming down to New Orleans to volunteer since 2007. We stayed at Camp Hope while volunteering with the St. Bernard Project. It was definitely a convenient place to stay because provided meals for you and it was not far from our project sites. The price is reasonable per person. As long as your group isn't afraid of doing some chores during your stay, I would recommend it as a great place to stay.

We have been in NOLA for the past three years volunteering for Habitat and have stayed at Camp Hope for two of those three years. It's a great place to stay - the accommodations are spacious with lots of common space for our group to meet at the end of the day. The food is good and the staff is very gracious. We plan to be back next year!

We stayed at Camp Hope while we were volunteering with the St. Bernard Project. The staff were warm and welcoming and the accommodations were good. We appreciated the cooked breakfast every morning. I highly recommend staying here if you are volunteering in New Orleans.

I highly recommend Camp Hope! The staff was helpful and accommodating and the facility is perfect for meeting the needs of groups. They had everything from clean shower rooms and bathrooms, stations for charging your cell phone, and space for groups to meet or just hang out. I can’t thank Camp Hope enough for their hospitality.

The organization does a great job of providing for our needs so we can work in the community.
I see Camp Hope as living out the Gospel command of love of God and love of neighbor. They staff made us feel extremely welcomed and constantly checked to see if we needed anything or if they could do something more for us.
