Event Description
Camp Hope is a 3-day retreat designed to provide emotional and spiritual restoration for P-12 educators scheduled for June 18-20, 2026.
Campers will settle into private single-room accommodations in Bethel's Lissner Hall, enjoy great meals, circle up with other teachers, spend time outdoors, take naps, and explore new ways to generate hope and sustain personal and professional wellness. This year, we will offer tiered activity options to our returning campers while new campers engage in their 1st-year activities. The Camp Hope experience will be facilitated by Bethel professors Peg McCormick and Geri Von Grey, with Erin Lavery, Director of Indigo Education, and Hollie Sookhai from The Well Within. This will be year five for Camp Hope.
New and returning campers are welcome!
