Explore on the camp’s website ↗Camp Orchard Hill has carefully cultivated an atmosphere of relational, emotional, physical and spiritual safety. Our staff team will model healthy, caring relationships and then expect the same from campers in the group setting. Our programs are specifically designed to develop and promote teamwork and inclusion. Bullying behavior is contrary to our vision and mission and will not be tolerated. If a camper bullies another camper, they will meet with leadership for an explanation of the offending behavior and the harmful effects that result. If the behavior continues, the camper will be sent home.
Accreditation through the American Camping Association is a rigorous and optional process that Camp Orchard Hill first completed in 2010. Accredited camps welcome an ACA site visit every 5 years in order to maintain their status. As an accredited member of the American Camping Association, you can be assured that we comply with up to 300 health, safety and program quality standards. Being accredited by the ACA is solid proof of our accountability, credibility and commitment to you, the parents, and your campers.

Our campers consistently rank meals in their TOP 3 favorite aspects of the camp experience. Campers can expect fresh meals prepared on-site and served buffet style. Our menu changes daily. We intentionally avoid peanut-based cooking products in the main dining room, but soy butter and jelly are available at each meal. Our food service team will label food items with the top 9 allergens so that campers with preferences and sensitivities can make appropriate selections. In the event of a severe allergy, our team will prepare a safe alternative. Campers will provide details about their medical allergies on their health form in advance and should check in with the food service team at the allergy station during the first meal of their session.
