Greetings!
The lazy, hazy days of summer have arrived! The hot and humid weather hasn't slowed the pace at HOPE this summer. Our collaborative summer camp with Project Contact is up and running, applications are going out for fall youth programs, our HOPE for Women classes are quickly filling and we are gearing up for a number of events in September. Please read further for all the details.
-Joanne C. Foster, Executive Director

A Day At Camp Imagine a warm summer day and you are sitting along the banks of Lake Wampanoag reading a book. You make pirate costumes, enjoy a nature walk, practice your times tables and end your day swimming with friends.
For 170 children, ages 6-12, such a summer has become a reality. During two week sessions, campers are enjoying a full day of recreational activities, a nutritious breakfast and lunch, and reading and tutoring programs, at a collaborative camp offered by HOPE and Project Contact, Inc. at beautiful Camp Collier.
 We couldn't do this without the support of many people, businesses and institutions, including the City of Gardner, Amelia Peobody Foundation, United Way of North Central MA, Gardner Rotary, First Congregational Church, and The First Baptist Church of Gardner, and many, many more.
Thank you! |
