DIVIDE THE RIDE
Hunt Hill is working with the online resource, Divide the Ride, to offer a secure online network for Day camp families to connect and arrange carpooling opportunities. Download the Divide the Ride info sheet or contact Hunt Hill for more information.
AFTER CAMP CAMP
In addition to carpooling, we are offering the new After Camp camp from 4:00pm – 5:30pm following each day of day camp. For just an additional $3/child/day, families whose work schedule does not allow them to be to camp for the 4:00pm camp pickup, can choose to have their young campers enjoy a bit more fun at Hunt Hill while allowing families to complete their typical workday.
