Camp Hope (see below for Fall 2009 update), is a volunteer base camp located in a former school in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. Camp Hope has welcomed people from all over the United States and all over the world who have come to participate in the massive recovery efforts of St. Bernard Parish and New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Famous quotes containing the words camp and/or hope:
“Some of the taverns on this road, which were particularly dirty, were plainly in a transition state from the camp to the house.”

“Is there no hope for me? Is there no way
That I may sight and check that speeding bark
Which out of sight and sound is passing, passing?”
—Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)
