Home of Happy Campers

Camp New Hope is a year-round recreational experience for Special Needs individuals ages eight and above.

Camp New Hope hosts many programs for individuals to enjoy experiences with their friends. We build long-lasting memories and friendships while care givers can enjoy a break from their care giving responsibilities. 

Whether your Camper is local or from far away the staff and Campers at Camp New Hope look forward to welcoming your Campers.

Camp New Hope lies on 41 rolling acres on the shores of Lake Mattoon. Year after year, our campers enjoy the excitement of fishing and pontoon boat rides on the lake, train rides around our trails, swimming in our pool, playing on our playground and mini golf course, games, crafts, and more.

When not in use for campers our Facilities are open to RENT

Whether you're planning a wedding, a family reunion, or just a weekend getaway, Camp New Hope's facilities are a wonderful location for your next gathering or event!

Our campus boasts a beautiful cabin-style respite center with a full kitchen and basement, air-conditioned cabins for your guests, a lovely chapel, and a gorgeous shoreline and dock. Visit our Facilities Rental page for more information!
