The fun of summer camp at Hiram House is reason enough to register, but if you need another, we've added one!

For the first time, Hiram House will be offering a free limited edition camp t-shirt. The shirt cost will be included in the registration fee and campers will receive their shirt on the first day of their first session.

This limited edition t-shirt will change every summer, so your camper can now collect new t-shirts over the years. Any ideas about what 2024's shirt design will be?

At Hiram House, we’re committed to making camp accessible to as many children as possible.

If you want to spread the camp magic, consider donating to the campership fund. A Campership is financial assistance available to children who otherwise may not be able to afford and attend camp.

Each summer, roughly 60-65% of our overnight campers are on some form of campership to attend either 1 or 2 weeks of overnight camp.

AND you don’t have to wait until our next camper ship event to donate. You can donate today on our website: https://hiramhousecamp.org/support-us/campership-fund/

Want to bring the outdoors to your event?

You’re in luck because Hiram House is an amazing place for a work retreat, educational program, group retreat, or seminar of almost any size.

When you rent the grounds and facilities for your event, the details are in your control:
-you decide how long you want to rent for (half-day, full-day, one-night, two-night, or longer)
-it’s up to you if you want to use our catering service for meals
-your group decides whether you roast marshmallows over a campfire before or after you go on a hike (the truly important decision!)

Nature doesn’t go away when your camper leaves Hiram House!

Even as the school year gets more hectic, it’s important to remember that playing outside is one of the best things of childhood!

How will you make time for outdoor play this week?

For many Hiram House campers, their favorite activity is horseback riding. Yet, you don’t have to wait until summer to ride horses at Hiram.

We offer horseback riding lessons at our Double H Ranch. Each one-hour lesson includes basic horse care, saddle and bridle, tack and feedback, and —of course—riding.

However, we only offer lessons in fall, summer, and spring, so get yours booked before the weather becomes too chilly: https://hiramhousecamp.org/summer-camps/horseback-riding-lessons/

At your next corporate event, you could have your team complete two truths and a lie in the office conference room.

OR your team could complete a high ropes course in the great outdoors.

If the second sounds more interesting, consider our outdoor adventure programs. Hiram House retreats provide space for your company’s team to learn about risk-taking, their perceived limits, how they perform under pressure, and how they give and receive support from others.

Past corporate teams have reported an adventure at Hiram House helped them work better together and achieve more than they thought possible. Learn more: https://hiramhousecamp.org/retreats-rentals/teambuilding-adventure-programs/
