Fee covers two nights lodging, five meals, workshops and all materials for activities. Scholarships are available. Camp Ray of Hope is held at Camp Mechuwana in Winthrop on Lower Narrows Lake in a beautiful natural setting of tall stately pines and deciduous forest. People of all ages spend time in peer groups in addition to doing activities with their own family and other campers. We also offer a variety of mini workshops in which individuals experience self care techniques and coping strategies.
Participants get to choose the activities that best fit their interests and lifestyles.

One of our favorite activites is the guided night walk, which raises awareness of our senses, and trust in each other as well as putting us in touch with sounds of the night.
