High Hope Camp offers a memorable summer experience with a unique blend of daily horsemanship and computer instruction, environmental education, and recreation. Enrollment is limited to 40 campers (ages 7-16), providing a basis for small group activity in a family-type atmosphere. Each camper is responsible for a horse that they groom, saddle, and ride. Campers practice their skills in the arena as well as on trails throughout the 175 acres of High Hope property. Campers learn to compete (horsemanship, showmanship, and barrel racing) for the camp horse show held every 2-week session.

Every day (weather permitting) campers enjoy the beach and swimming at Clear Lake. Campers canoe there and at other nearby lakes. During computer classes campers design graphics, program in BASIC, create a camp newspaper each week, and play games.

Other activities include archery, wetland investigation, grokking, tracking, bird olympics, tree trails, compass orienteering, survival skills, debris hut construction, habitat games, and crafts such as tie dying; building bird houses, bird feeders, and bat boxes; Native American headdresses, dream catchers, and mandelas; lacing; beads; and screen printing.

Evening activities include bonfires, night hikes, staff and camper hunts, dances, astronomy, eco-dramas, talent shows, and movies, to name a few. Ping pong, pool, basketball, volleyball, wiffle ball, stilts, frisbees, cards, board games, and raids fill campers' free time.

Every two-week session campers spend time at a water slide, take part in an overnight camp out (sleeping in tents and cooking over a campfire) and, when the opportunity arises, enjoy a rodeo, horse show, or 4H fair.
