Though the primary function of Camp John Hope FFA-FCCLA Center is to be a camp and conference center for organizations, the Dining Hall is also available throughout the year for banquets. The best availability is during the weekdays (Monday - Thursday), as we have weekend rental groups using the rooms for meals on weekends.
The Dining Room in Walters Hall holds up to 200 guests at a time. It is set up with long rows of tables. Our staff will cover the tables with a white paper roll. You are welcome to bring your own decorations. (Please do not use glitter, confetti, markers, etc)

Banquet Policies:
We require a guaranteed number at least 5 weekdays prior to your event. This is the minimum number that we will charge for. Your cost will be the guaranteed number (or actual number if higher) times the cost per person. There is no additional service charge or gratuity. Payment is due upon arrival for your event in the form of cash or check (payable to Camp John Hope FFA-FCCLA Center.) We ask that payment is made by one check. Groups are required to provide an accurate serving time and an estimated ending time. We also request that dinnerware, plates, and glasses are turned in prior to starting the program.
