Hidden Villa is gearing up for our 71st year of Summer Camp! Originating in 1945, Hidden Villa Summer Camp programs build relationships among youth from diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds who come together for shared activities in Hidden Villa’s unique environment.
In the tradition of our founders, Josephine and Frank Duveneck, the children and youth who attend our programs enjoy traditional camp activities such as games, swimming, and arts and crafts, and also learn about the natural world and about working and sharing with people from different backgrounds. Campers work on the farm, harvest produce, cook in our outdoor kitchen, hike in the wilderness, and experience thoughtful periods of reflection and stimulating conversation. Our campers are also able to enjoy the wonder and exhilaration of the outdoors by exploring and growing together within a safe and supportive environment.
In 2015, Hidden Villa Summer Camp served a total of 1,304 young people. Because of the generosity of supporters like you, we are able to provide impactful youth programming throughout the year. Stay tuned later in the summer for stories from our 2016 campers.
