Make camp a reality for more children

In 2025, we have awarded over $200,000 to help children whose families needed financial assistance for tuition in order to be able to attend camp. We look forward to continuing and expanding this long standing tradition in the years to come. Your donation goes directly to the campers who need it most .

Donation Levels

Llama Gold - Sponsor a full camper’s tuition. $8,500

Hamilton Silver - Sponsor an intro 2 week session for a new camper. $5100

Always Orbiting - Give a custom amount, even $50 helps us support more campers coming to HVC.

What Families Say

  • Going to camp has been life changing! I look at the world a little differently. I am a little more carefree, I don’t think about what other people might think of me. I have made friends that could become lifelong friends. Thanks again for everything!

    HVC Camper

  • In a world that sometimes feels increasingly less so, you work tirelessly to create and maintain a community where people feel safe, respected, and valued. What’s more, you send individuals back into the world- their elementary schools, their junior highs, their colleges, their places of work- prepared with skills and experiences to share those feelings with others.

    HVC Alum

  • Thanks again for all your help and support of our boys these years. I have no doubt their fine characters are in part a credit to all of you at HVC, and the wonderful environment you foster.
