 Campstore: Our campstore carries a variety of snacks and souvenir items for sale. We ask that you send a specified amount of money along with your fees. These funds will be put into an account for your child at the campstore. Any money left in your campers store account will be returned to you at the end of the session. This year we are offering camper group photos. These photos MUST be ordered in advance. No Camper Should Bring Money With Them To Camp.

Food: Camp rules prohibit campers from bringing food to camp or receiving any food, including candy or gum. Should a camper bring or receive food items, such items will become the general property of the camp.

Health: A nurse looks after the health of the campers. Meals are planned by an experienced dietitian. Hiram House Camp has city water.

Mail: Mail is received and sent out daily and can be sent to your camper at camp.

Visitors and Phone Calls: Due to the busy camp program, the nature of our activities and the relatively short camping session, visitors are not permitted nor will campers make phone calls unless there is an emergency.

Swimming: Each camper needs to bring a suit and towel daily.  If there are specific conditions under which your child cannot swim, please inform the camp office. All swim time at our pool is recreational and not instructional. Campers are required to take a swim test on the first day of each session to determine their swimming ability. Our pool has lifeguards and our waterfront director on deck whenever campers are present.
