Unit Life:
- Unit assignments are carefully determined based on program
needs, participant numbers, camper ages and available beds, ensuring
a comfortable and well-organized experience for all campers.
Hidden Lake offers three types of units with mattresses on cots or
bunkbeds: platform tents, lean-tos, and small
cabins. Each unit includes 4-8 sleeping structures, with most
structures sleeping four people, and some larger lean-tos
accommodating up to six. Staff will be housed in one structure within
the unit, while campers will be paired or grouped with fellow program
participants. We will do our best to honor buddy requests within the
unit while also encouraging new friendships and group bonding.
Each unit also features:
- A kitchen shelter pavilion with picnic tables, benches, a
fireplace, and a spigot for drinking and washing water
- Two latrines with handwashing stations
- An outdoor
fire pit
- A shared shower house is located nearby and is
available for all camp units.
Payment information:
- A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure camp
registration. The balance may be paid in installments of any amount,
with the balance due in full by June 17th, 2025. All payments are
non-refundable after June 17th. Registrations not paid in full by
June 18th may be canceled. In the case of such cancellation, any
payments, minus the $100 deposit will be refunded to the original
form of payment. Registrations made after June 17th must be paid in
full at the time of registration.
Paperwork Information:
- All campers must provide annual health information, in
accordance with Department of Health, American Camp Association, and
GSNENY policies. The camp team needs detailed health information to
ensure they can meet your camper's health needs. Some forms require
a signature by a healthcare provider. Any medication (including
over-the-counter items) that a camper will receive while at camp
must be sent in the original packaging with signed orders from a
doctor. After registering for camp, you will receive further
information regarding the required forms and how to submit them. All
camp paperwork, including health histories and immunization records,
must be submitted no later than Tuesday, June 17, 2025 to allow time
to review. Any registration for which all completed paperwork has
not been received by that date is subject to cancellation.
Next steps:
- Within 7 days of your registration, you will receive a
Camper and Caregiver Handbook which will help you prepare for your
summer at camp. You'll also receive links to the forms you'll need
to complete and information about pre-ordering items from our
Trading Post.
