Camp Rebuilding Hope In New Orleans (Camp RHINO) is a work-hard, play-hard week of serving Christ in the Crescent City!
At Camp RHINO, campers and their leaders will experience a week of intense urban mission, exposing the needs of New Orleans while being a part of rebuilding it.

“This program is exceptionally well organized and meaningful. It also remindes us that ministry, when done well, can be interesting and fun as well as life-changing.” – Rev. Dr. Michael Jinkins
“This has been a fantastic experience. From the worksite to the RHINO staff, each moment has been valuable. I’ll recommend RHINO to other congregations wherever I’ll go.” – leader
We hope you consider joining us for a week of service and fun next summer!
Summer 2024 will mark the twelfth year of Camp RHINO.
During a typical camp day, leaders and campers work on Camp RHINO ministry sites alongside our RHINO staff, getting a real look at the diverse needs of New Orleans.
