December 22 marked the first day of winter and for those of us at Hope Hill Children’s Home that means it’s time to start thinking about the upcoming work camp season. However, it wouldn’t be right to start the planning process that it takes to make it all come together, without first saying thank you to those who came in 2007.
In 2007 there were more than 20 groups that came on campus. These work camps came from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Illinois, Virginia, New Jersey, Kansas, and Kentucky. The work they accomplished is invaluable and a true blessing to everyone here at Hope Hill. Besides the work that was done, friendships were renewed, new friends were made and lives were changed through the selfless giving of the young and old alike. There is so much we could not have accomplished without you and for that we are truly grateful.
As I look forward to the up coming work camp season, I've come up with a partial list of projects for 2008. In addition to the Rice Center and Bunk House available at Hope Hill Children's Home in Hope, KY, we can now offer limited accommodations at Triple L Youth Ranch in Anderson, IN. Below is a list of projects we will be working on at each campus.

In His Service,
