Camp Property and Hospitality Manager

Our Mission:

Camp Hope of SW Washington is a Christian community service organization helping youth thrive with outdoor-based learning, adventure, and fun. We lease 107-acres of Clark County owned property located two miles north of Battle Ground, Washington. Our camp offers a variety of programs including summer camps, Saturday camps and outdoor school. We also rent the camp to groups for day use and overnight camping.

Our vision is to build a hope-filled community of all generations who love nature, learning and each other. We are building a team of people who want to invest in this generation who sadly averages 44 hours per week on a screen and less than 10 minutes per day outdoors. Are you ready to be part of an amazing outdoor community?
