Camp Hickory Hill 2009


Dear campers, staff members, alums, and friends of camp hickory hill,

I hope you all had a wonderful new year and are looking forward to 2009 as much as we are here at CHH! There have been a lot of developments at camp, I’m sure many of you have noticed that we are opening up a third week of camp this year in June. We are very excited about extending the duration of camp and are excited about our new age group breakups. We are also working on getting the dam at the lake fixed, so if everything works out like we hope it will, the lake will be in much better shape come June!

That being said, we will still offer a top notch diabetic education, with an emphasis on self care, and an amazing range of activities that includes our zip line, flying squirrel, rappelling, and rock climbing. Not to mention our great evening activities such as the always popular shaving cream fight and mud pit.

So we are very much looking forward to 2009, but we do need your help!!! As everyone knows, the current economic recession is impacting all businesses, and this extends to not-for-profits as well. But we all can do a small part to pitch in and help out at camp. What does this mean for you? Staff members, we need as many great counselors as we can get this year. Tell your friends! Campers, get those applications in, and tell your friends with diabetes to join you at camp this year! With the added week, we want to bring in as many new campers as possible. Friends and Alums, please continue to check this site for volunteer opportunities, or call with your thoughts on avenues we might pursue.

-Tipper
