Since 1896, Hiram House has been providing a quality camping experience to benefit the children of Northeast Ohio.

We currently offer a Summer Day Camp, for boys and girls ages 6* through 11 and a Summer Junior Day Camp, for boys and girls ages 5* and 6 (* must be at least entering Kindergarten in the Fall).

The Hiram House camp program makes use of the natural environment as much as possible. Most program activities are developed around the natural features of the camp. Activities which can easily be provided at home are kept to a minimum. Special activities such as swimming, archery, and boating are pre-scheduled. The balance of the camp program maintains flexibility by camper groups being encouraged to help plan some of their own activities. Theme days and special all-camp events round out the schedule.

Our program staff is under the supervision of a qualified director and maintains a 6:1 ratio for Summer Junior Day Camp and and 8:1 ratio for Summer Day Camp and Summer Resident Camp. Summer staff consists mainly of college and senior high school students with experience and interest in child development who are required to participate in an intensive 5-day in-residence training program. Group counselors supervise and lead each camper group. Specialists guide activities such as archery and arts & crafts. Each year, many universities and high schools are represented by camp staff.

In order to attend camp, each camper must be certified by the school nurse or doctor within the past 12 months. The complete medical form must be in the camp office two weeks prior to the camper's first day at camp.

A detailed list of camp store items will be sent upon registration. Campers visit the camp store at regularly scheduled times throughout the session. We ask that you send a specified amount of camp store money along with your fees. These funds will be put into an account for your child at the camp store. No camper should bring money with them to camp.

Hiram House Camp aims to give children a healthy wholesome, stimulating experience in the out-of-door through living, playing, and cooperating in the beautiful environment of our natural woods. Camp aims to give children an appreciation of the American way of life by actually introducing campers to some of the experiences of our ancestors, such as outdoor skills. At camp, we have character building through participation.

A $75.00 deposit per camper per session is required with each Day & Junior Day Camp application.
A $50.00 deposit per camper is required with each Resident Camp application.

This deposit will be applied toward the camp fee. Of the deposit, $10 will be a registration service fee in the event of a medical cancellation. There is a $20 charge for any non-sufficient checks. There is a $10 charge for any change after registration.

The balance of the camp fee is due in the camp office April 30, 2008 for Summer Day and Junior Day Camps. For Summer Resident Camp, the balance is due two weeks before the start of the session.

No refunds will be made except on presentation of a medical rejection slip or a doctor's certificate in case of illness before the camper is scheduled to attend camp.

There is no pro-rated fee for campers arriving after the start of the session or leaving before its completion. No money will be returned to anyone who, once at camp, leaves before the end of the session. Camp fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

The Camp is not responsible for loss or damage to any camper's property during the camping season. Camper photos and quotes many be used for educational or publicity purposes by Hiram House Camp.
