New Opportunity Sponsored by Holland Junior Welfare League
We are pleased to thank the Holland Junior Welfare League for their generous funds
this year. With their funding we were able to be a resource for K–12 students and
create high-level, hands-on STEM kits for students in our community. Each kit covers
a wide range of topics, from engineering to chemistry to atomic structure. Please
email explore@hope.edu if you are interested in using a kit for your program.

Summer offerings
- Summer Science Camps
- Each year, Summer Science Camps offers hands-on, inquiry based learning for students of all ages. Camps run weekly with more than 50 topics to choose from.
- Awakening
- Awakening is a week-long gathering to explore faith, worship, your gifts and your relationships with God. For high school students going into grades 10-12 who are seeking to grow their skills and passions about worship and the arts. Are you a muscian, an actor, an artist, a dancer, a sound technician or a philosopher? Take this opportunity to develop your gifts — and perhaps discover gifts you never realized.
- Hope College Sports Camps
- Hope College sports coaches and players share their time and talents with local youth each summer. Find your sport, ability level and passion, and come learn and grow this summer. View the camp listing.
- Hope Summer Reperatory Theatre
- Part of HSRT's mission is to provide educational oportunities for the youth in our community. We hope that by providing these experiences, participants will develop a lifelong love of theatre.
