Camp Hope Carnival
   
C OR students and families have a beautiful opportunity to help serve Camp Hope! Camp Hope is a summer camp for teens and young adults with special needs. I have been so inspired by all Camp Hope does and if you are not familiar with all they do, this is a wonderful opportunity to find out more about it! Volunteers will help by setting up the carnival, running the carnival, playing with the campers and cleaning up. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
 
If you are interested in helping this year, please RSVP to me as soon as you get a chance at (847) 220-0785. Thank you so much!
