Learn MoreJoin us for Mission Vision Weekend at Bay Hope Church as we highlight an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact around the world. This year we are partnering with International Cooperating Ministries (ICM) to help launch Community Impact Partnerships—a powerful initiative that equips local churches and communities to bring lasting transformation through the hope of the Gospel. After each service, volunteers will help guide people who feel led to take their next step in missions by becoming a Community Impact Partner. These partnerships help resource local churches around the world so they can serve their communities, share the love of Christ, and create sustainable change for generations. We’re looking for friendly, welcoming volunteers who can help answer simple questions and walk people through the sign-up process. No prior missions experience is required—just a heart to serve and excitement about what God is doing around the world. A brief training will be held the week before the event so you’ll feel confident and prepared. More details about the training will be shared soon. Volunteers are needed at our Lakeshore, Westchase, and Land O’ Lakes campuses. Come be part of helping our church family take a meaningful step in God’s mission for the world. Questions? Pastor David dwildes@bayhope.com

During the day, students are transported all over Tampa Bay by fully background checked, qualified adult drivers to serve in our community with local mission partners. In the evenings, students experience a wide variety of camp activities, engaging worship, and powerful messages. We're so excited for what God will do through RIOT this summer! Space in camp is limited to number of seats in cars/vans driven by our Adult Crew Leaders. Any students registered beyond this number will be placed on the waitlist until more volunteers register and more space opens up in camp. Registered adult Crew Leaders and qualified overnight chaperones can guarantee a spot in camp for their student. Sign Up Here! 11th and 12th graders are eligible for Jr.Staff! Sign Up HERE!!

Campers must remain on campus for the entirety of camp. No visitors will be allowed on campus without express permission from the Camp Director. Please contact the Camp Director at least two weeks prior to camp with any concerns. -The RIOT staff spends a lot of time in prayer allowing the Holy Spirit to guide the process of crafting crews. As part of that process, RIOT does not accept any friend requests for crews. Please be assured, there is plenty of time for friends to be together in the mornings, afternoons, during worship, games, and in the evenings. We encourage you to use the time during the day at work sites to step out of your comfort zone! - If your camper arrives with any symptoms and/or a body temperature of 100.4, or greater, they will be sent home by the camp nurse and may not return without having been fever free for 24 hours.
