YouthHope established Camp Summit in 2001 as an extension of our mission to bring hope to low-income kids, teens and their families.
We give kids and teens the opportunity to leave their neighborhoods for a day, weekend or whole week and experience things like cookouts and retreat activities that are not available in their housing complexes.
Located in New Windsor, IL, on 65 acres of forest and a 4-acre lake, the camp is open year-round and features housing for up to 70, a full commercial kitchen, large meeting spaces, wilderness campsites, a zip-line and many outdoor activities.

Camp Summit is a Christian youth camp that is an extension of the YouthHope and Christian Friendliness ministries.

YouthHope cannot empower youth through programs for youth, after school activities, tutoring and youth camps without the help of volunteers. If you are excited about the mission of YouthHope, there are many opportunities for you to volunteer!
