Camp Hopewell began in 1949 when 10 acres of land was donated by the Hopewell Presbyterian Church to the Presbytery of St. Andrew,Presbyterian Church (USA) for use as a youth camp. As the years have gone by, land has been added and the camp facilities and programming have grown. We at Hopewell believe that every child of God deserves a safe camp experience where they can discover the wonders of God’s creation, expand their circle of Christian friends, explore the meaning of God’s word, and build their faith in Jesus Christ. Our mission is to create for our guests a special place, with services and leaders to help make such experiences happen.

Hopewell Camp and Conference Center is accredited by the American Camp Association which means that we have voluntarily submitted to an evaluation of our compliance with national standards including health, safety, staffing, facility, and program management.   We are also active members in the Presbyterian Church Camp and Conference Association (PCCCA). Hopewell also holds a youth camp license issued by the Mississippi State Department of Health.
