Todd's Corner

In this ever changing world of ours, it's nice to know that there is at least one thing that remains constant ... Hidden  Valley Camp. HVC has kept the same core mission and philosophy since it was founded by Harry and Imogene  Truman in 1947. These core values were embraced by Bob and Nan McKinlay when they assumed ownership of  HVC in 1973. My Dad (Bob) always said that he and Harry were kindred spirits, with the same outlook on what a  camp experience should entail. A camp where campers experience the outdoors first hand, attend camp for an  extended period of time to maximize all that camp has to offer, and live in small groups to help create a unique and  supportive camp environment. Of course, most of all, they both wanted to provide a program where kids felt safe, had  tons of fun, and created friendships and memories that lasted a lifetime.

We proudly continue to emphasize these same traditions and experiences today at Hidden Valley Camp. Every
summer we see campers expand their physical and social skills, increase their self-esteem, gain independence, learn  to live in a group, and have a blast participating in the variety of activities offered at HVC. The HVC community truly is  special and we look forward to another summer of providing these types of experiences for all that attend.

See you this summer!

Session Space

Registrations have come in at a record pace this year as you can tell by the number of names listed below. Our 1st session has filled for both boys and girls with pretty significant waiting lists. We currently have space for both boys and girls in our 2nd and 3rd sessions, but it won't be long before availability becomes an issue in these sessions as well. They are both about 3/4 full at this time. We recommend signing up soon to assure a spot at HVC this coming summer! The easiest and fastest way to register is on the HVC website: www.hvc-wa.com You can also print a registration form from the website if you prefer to register by mail. We are looking forward to another unforgettable summer at HVC and hope to receive your registration soon if you aren't signed up already. If you are listed above you are good to go! Please don't hesitate to be in touch if you have any questions.
