Camp Hope

 

Camp Hope, a beautiful 50- acre wooded retreat located on the shores of Greenwood Lake in West Milford, buzzes year-round with activity.  In July and August the camp is filled with energy and laughter as hundreds of the County’s children converge at the camp to enjoy a fun filled week of swimming, boating, arts & crafts, ball games, nature hikes, and campfires. The Passaic County Board of Chosen Freeholders sponsor all qualified children to attend camp free of charge for one week in the summer. Camp Hope is run by a dedicated, well trained, and caring staff; many of them were once campers themselves.


As summer camp ends and the school year begins Passaic County’s senior citizens reclaim Camp Hope as their own. From September to June senior groups from around the County eagerly pack buses to visit Camp Hope. A day at Camp Hope is a day filled with good food, friends, and activities such as bingo, line dancing, live music, bocce, and horseshoes. The Tuesday Night Supper Club and a Line Dancing Program are also popular programs for the seniors.

The Camp Hope Commission, the Freeholder Board, and the camp’s professional staff jointly run Camp Hope. Camp Hope is currently in the midst of a multi-year renovation project of all the camp’s cabins. Please see the photo gallery for photos of the newly renovated cabins.
