Participants challenge their physical abilities in a well-supervised, upbeat atmosphere and develop friendships, self-confidence and leadership skills in the process. Those who take part will benefit from working and living together with their companions and communing with the great outdoors.
HVC is diverse and international. Two-hundred and fifty boys and girls ages 8 to 14, from far and wide, attend each session. Over the years, Hidden Valley has hosted children from 50 countries. Campers come from throughout New England, the NYC area, up and down the east coast and as many as 15 other states each summer.
In addition to all their summer outdoor activities, HVC campers have a blast in their cabins - about 12 campers and 3-4 camp counselors - as they share meals and special events, participate in cabin nights, etc.
