The last week of camp (Week 6) is open only to campers ages 10-15.\u00a0 Hidden Hollow Camp also offers a Jr. Camp for campers ages 6-8 (must have completed Kindergarten before camp). Jr. Camp is a shortened version of our full weeks, designed for newer campers.\u00a0 Jr. Camp serves as an introduction to sleeping away from home, camp life, and making new friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hidden Hollow also has a KP program for current and former campers who are at least 15 years old. KPs register just like a camper and select a week.\u00a0 Those campers that are interested in being a KP during a week at camp should also contact <a href=\"mailto:meppler@friendlyhouseonline.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ms. Monica, Camp Director<\/a>.\u00a0 Children who KP are volunteers and learn more about what it is like to work at a summer camp, while earning 40 hours of volunteer time.\u00a0 KPs help in the kitchen set up and serve meals as well as clean up after meals.\u00a0 For additional information click on the HHC website link below.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>2026 CAMPING SEASON &#8211; CAMP WEEKS \/ SPECIAL DAYS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1D3om2dcJJh76IwNJ4Myi8sj6gXGHy914\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Columbus Winter Carnival<\/a> &#8211; Feb 21 from 11am &#8211; 3pm &#8211; CHANCE FOR A FREE WEEK AT CAMP<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>OPEN HOUSE &#8211; April 18 from 2pm to 4pm at HHC<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Registration &#8211; April 22 at Noon &#8211; click on link at the bottom of page.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Counselor Training &#8211;\u00a0 June 20 &#8211; 26<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Week 1 &#8211; June 28 &#8211; July 4 &#8211; Pirate Day<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Week 2 &#8211; July 5 &#8211; 11 &#8211; Jurassic (DINO) Day<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Week 3 &#8211; July 12 &#8211; 18 &#8211; Wizard of Oz Day<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Week 4 &#8211; July 19 &#8211; 25 &#8211; Minecraft Day<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Week 5 &#8211; July 26 &#8211; Aug 1 &#8211; Medieval\/Fairytale Day<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Week 6 &#8211; Aug 2 &#8211; 8 &#8211; Cabin Challenge Week<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Junior Camp &#8211; Aug 9 &#8211; 11<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please note &#8211; Special Days are now set for the 2026 season.\u00a0 Your campers should expect special events on one of the camp days that match the theme that is listed.\u00a0 Your camper is welcome to plan on a costume that may match that theme!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>STATEMENT OF CAMP GOALS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>At <b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"3\">Hidden Hollow Camp<\/b>, we bring kids from all walks of life together for the ultimate outdoor adventure!
