All three of my kids love Camp Hidden Meadows so much that they would stay the whole summer if they could. CHM has a huge variety of activities so there is something for everyone, which is really important when you're trying to satisfy three kids with different personalities and interests. The staff is top-notch and highly responsive in the months and weeks leading up to camp, which is always appreciated since questions are bound to come up. As a parent and former camp counselor, I feel totally confident sending my kids to CHM knowing that they will have a safe, positive and fun camp experience.

This was my 13-year-old son's first week-long camp away from home and it was a truly transformation experience for him! The space is everything you imagine when you picture the perfect camp in the mountains. The workshops, spaces, and events were all so well tailored for a wide range of interests - every kid will find something they love to do throughout their time at Camp Hidden Meadows. I was impressed with the team that runs this camp, with the counselors, and with their ability to create a space for kids to bond and thrive. My son made so many friends in his short time at camp (he was here for only a week) and he said he cannot wait to come back next year. I can't recommend Camp Hidden Meadows enough -- your children will love it here!

Sent our kid in the summer before 5th and 6th grades. Had an absolutely magical experience they spent the rest of the year talking about to everyone who would listen.

Our daughter has gone for four years, and we call it her happy place. The vibe is great--low-key, fun, old-school, tech-free. Tons of great activities and caring counselors. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Our facilities team at Camp Hidden Meadows works hard to make sure all of our buildings stay in great shape all year long. Surrounded by National Forest lands including Monongahela National Forest, we are fortunate that our location allows us easy access to some of the most notable recreational areas on the east coast, including Seneca Rocks, New River Gorge National Park, the Greenbrier River Rail Trail, and Lake Buffalo. With 250 acres of natural beauty to explore at 3,000 feet elevation, we have our own mountainside as well as a river that runs through the center of camp. Campers and staff reside in rustic cabins with electricity. About half of the cabins have bathrooms, and the rest have a bathhouse outside of their cabin. We have a swimming pool on our property as well. Our Dining Hall, known as the Lodge, is where we have our meals and is a popular place for gathering and spending time with the community.
