Every August, Hopewell rents the entire Camp Grier facility (located in Old Fort, NC, about 2 1/2 hours away) for our annual Church Camp. Rising 3rd – 12th grade youth are eligible to attend. Both Hopewell members and non-members are welcome. The campers will leave this year on a Wednesday afternoon and return at noon on the following Sunday. It is an experience that your child will never forget!

Campers have Bible Study, worship, crafts, recreation, and fellowship together in this beautiful outdoor mountain setting. Camp Grier provides an outdoor pool, natural siding rock, canoeing, rope bridge, rustic cabins, and so much more. It is a time for new friends and a time to get closer to God.
