COVID-19 Update

In this time of COVID-19 Hope College is closely monitoring the situation and actively working with our camps and conferences. As events are canceled or rescheduled we'll update this page, but please contact your camp or conference directly with any questions. Hope College is working with the Ottawa County Department of Health and following State of Michigan and Center for Disease Control guidelines. For information on how Hope College is addressing this please visit our COVID-19 page.


The Hope College Events and Conferences Office, best known as ECO, is dedicated to providing the finest service with the intention of creating convenient and comfortable spaces for events and other happenings at Hope College.

We are committed to working together as a staff and with the rest of campus to provide professional and detailed care, in a manner that supports Hope’s mission.
