Each year, Camp Hanover hosts Hanover Christmas, our beloved live nativity. Share the magic of Christmas as guests walk through a candle-lit forest to experience the journey to Bethlehem. The 2026 event is December 11 and 12 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Volunteers make this amazing event happen for the community! Can you join us in decorating and setting up in the weeks leading up to the event?
By volunteering for Hanover Christmas, you help our community witness the Christmas story in a unique and spiritual way. There are jobs appropriate for multiple abilities. Families with elementary to middle school-aged children will find the decorating party a better fit than day-of volunteering. Groups of volunteers also are welcome, so bring your youth group or Sunday school class!
