Driving to HVC - 2025
When bringing your child to HVC on the first day of camp, we will assign an arrival time between 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM. Generally this will mean older campers arrive earlier. Medical intake will occur immediately after arrival and then staff will help campers settle into the cabin.
For 2-week "intro" campers arriving 7/4 or 8/1, please arrive between 10:30 AM and 12 noon.
Planning your trip: Visit our vacation guide for places to stay, great eats, Maine sights, etc. Make well ahead.
Picking up Campers at Session's End
Most children depart on Thursday July 17 or August 14. We will assign times between 7:30 and 10:30 AM, as children are excited to commence their next adventure. If you must come here later, please note that at 12 noon all staff will take an afternoon break.
For 2-week "intro" campers departing 7/4 or 8/1, please arrive between 8:30 and 10:00 AM.
Once you arrive, please take time to have your camper show you around camp. There will be coffee available, etc.
