Camp Occohannock is located right on the Chesapeake Bay. Accommodations consist of cabins, bathhouses, and a large meeting area. There are several cabins that sleep 8-10 people each, separated into male/female cabins. Married couples and parent/child participants of opposite sexes who attend HOH will still be housed separately in cabins according to gender. Each cabin will have two or more adults sleeping in the cabin with the youth, according to safety policies. All cabins and the main retreat center are air-conditioned. Four bathhouses are available – two for boys and two for girls – with several toilets, sinks, and showers in each. Group meetings, meals, and worship sessions are held in the main retreat building with kitchen attached.

Harvest of Hope is the ecumenical study, worship, and action mission trip program of the Society of St. Andrew. HoH offers opportunities to learn about hunger and a common sense solution (gleaning) to the issue. Together, we will glean fresh fruits and vegetables which will immediately, through the help of local feeding agencies, find their way onto the tables of those in need. A simple, healthy lifestyle will be experienced during the event. We will worship together, exploring what God wants us to do concerning our neighbors who are in need.

Join us and do something about hunger!
