Mission Riverside is a family-friendly opportunity designed to accommodate busy summer schedules. Come up on Saturday to get in on the fun with your Hope family. This is a great chance to serve and connect with others by working together. Missionaries from Hope build cabins, assist with repair projects, and spruce up the campgrounds.
Riverside Lutheran Bible Camp is located near Story City, Iowa -- about an hour from metro Des Moines.
