Backpack trips into the mountains, white water rafting the New River Gorge, sailing, rock climbing, organic farming, horseback riding, gaining confidence in new skills. Building friendships that last a lifetime. Welcome to a Camp Hidden Meadows' summer!

During the past fourteen summers at our outpost in the Allegheny Mountains we have committed ourselves to providing young people with experiences that are fun, safe, and rewarding. Camp Hidden Meadows is a coed, non-sectarian program, offering a wide array of activities. Set in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia campers experience these activities in an environment fostering personal growth, individual responsibility, and active participation in the camp community.

Time spent away from home should be an opportunity to expand one's horizons, learn new and exciting skills and make long lasting friendships. Under the guidance of caring and qualified leaders, campers are involved in activities that require their participation both physically and mentally.

Scaling a bold rock face, saddling a horse for the first time or sampling a dish made of food you helped harvest in our gardens requires an open mind and willingness to try new things. Hidden Meadows is about creating a new way of looking at yourself and your relationship to the world.

In a sense we are a retreat for children, a place where life is simple and free from worldly distractions, a place where young people's needs come first and one learns the importance of balancing personal interest with those of the community.

is that each camper returns home

and with a deepened sense of responsibility for oneself, others and the environment
