Fields of Hope
Sports. Learning. Outdoors. Community. Purpose.
A new place to gather at Hope Forest — youth sports, outdoor learning, homeschool enrichment, marketplace events, and a season of family weekends.
A new gathering place at Hope Forest where youth sports, outdoor learning, marketplace days, family events, and new ideas grow from one summer of free launch weekends into something families can return to all year.
The program
Three weekends, plenty of ways to take part — sports, homeschool enrichment, marketplace days, sponsor activations, and community support.
Sports Weekend
Two days of team play, sport-specific activity, and evaluation across 7-on-7 football, flag football, lacrosse, and soccer — anchored by the Playbook Pass College-Standard Combine.
Homeschool Preview
A relaxed family day for homeschool households — fishing stations, outdoor learning, sports and PE interest, tutors, and enrichment partners.
Labor Day Launch
The public-facing Fields of Hope launch — marketplace vendors, food and family gathering, sponsor activations, sports showcases, fishing and outdoor activities, and Hope Forest mission visibility.
How it all comes together
Fields of Hope is more than one weekend of events. It is a way to bring steady, positive activity to Hope Forest through youth sports, outdoor learning, marketplace days, family gatherings, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners.
Sports bring teams, athletes, coaches, and families onto the fields. Learning days invite homeschool groups, tutors, outdoor educators, and mentors onto campus. Marketplace events bring vendors, vintage finds, collectibles, food, silent auctions, and family-friendly shopping. Sponsors and foundations help make the programming possible. Volunteers help create a welcoming experience.
Together, these pieces create a campus with more movement, more pride, more responsibility, and more connection — a place where kids can participate, help, learn, play, and see the community show up around them.
Find your place.
Start with the way you want to take part — bring your family, register an athlete, enter a team, sponsor a program, join the marketplace, volunteer, support a foundation partnership, or explore a strategic role in what comes next.
Built for whatcomes next.
Fields of Hope begins with July and Labor Day, but the larger goal is year-round community life at Hope Forest. Over time, that can mean youth leagues, training days, homeschool enrichment, outdoor learning, marketplace events, food and vendor days, silent auctions, sponsor-supported activities, and new ways for families and partners to stay involved.
As the campus grows, selected partners may also bring safe, appropriate tools and ideas that support better events, better training, better learning, and better community experiences.
Help build the launch.
Sponsors, partners, and supporters offset costs, expand access, and add visible activations across every launch moment.
