Camp Hanover

Overview

Since 1957, Camp Hanover has offered Christian summer camps — both day and overnight programs — for elementary, middle and high school youth. That’s 65+ years of experience in providing dynamic, safe, and meaningful youth programming.

We believe in welcome and inclusion, that EVERYONE is created by God for LOVE. Campers in our summer programs will find an atmosphere of caring and acceptance at every turn. Read our Statement of Welcome and Inclusion.

We believe in formation by experience. Camp is a place where acceptance of and caring for others is the key aspect of the community we build. A community where campers learn to appreciate and value one another. Where you get the opportunity to practice living alongside one another.

We believe in connection to creation. As we grow in our relationships with God and with others, our connection to creation is revealed. Through simple, community living in the out-of-doors, camp reveals to campers and counselors an awareness of God as Creator and Redeemer.

As a Christian camp, we do ask that all campers participate in Bible study and worship. Jesus Christ, as the Word becomes flesh, is central to our program. We strive to create an environment where campers and staff feel comfortable, loved, and can have fun talking about, exploring and practicing their faith. Camp provides campers and counselors opportunities to respond in a living way to God’s love through Christ.

Camp Hanover is a ministry partner of the Presbytery of the James, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
