and provide new experiences unique to a camp setting. The SC Junior Chamber
of Commerce has provided financial support for every camper attending
Jaycee Camp Hope since 1969. Individuals participating in Camp Hope are
ages 8 and older. Campers are grouped according to age, level of functioning,
and previous camp and social experience.
