Our program focuses on providing opportunities where individuals can work cooperatively, think creatively and face challenges to the best of their ability. Students join our program looking for challenge and acceptance. Although many don’t know exactly what form it will come in, they are all looking for something different than their day-to-day routine.
Cooking their own meals, organizing gear, and paddling a whitewater rapid are some of the many challenges students find. Our approach is to offer an organized program, under the direction of caring leaders, where students have the opportunity to challenge themselves in a safe, fun and non-competitive environment. In doing this we offer the chance for a rewarding summer where friendships are formed, discoveries made and life long skills enhanced.
Location
Our programs are offered on our 250-acre camp surrounded by the 900,000 thousand-acre Monongahela National Forest in wild and wonderful West Virginia. In our immediate surroundings can be found top-rated rock climbing and mountain biking, fantastic backpacking and a vast array of caves. We enjoy some of the most secluded and beautiful country in the East. Our programs also utilize the New River Gorge National Park, home to one of the oldest rivers in North America, where we take advantage of world-class whitewater and scenic landscapes.
Jobs
Camp Hidden Meadows is looking for great people who are willing to work hard, share talents and give everything they’ve got. Forget what you have seen in the movies–working at camp is about making connections with young people, serving as a role model, and putting the needs of others ahead of your own.
You don’t need to be an expert to work at camp, but you need to be willing to give your time, attention, and heart to others. The demands are constant, but the rewards are infinite! Previous staff members frequently report that working at camp was the hardest thing they ever did, but also the best thing. Camp does kids a world of good!
