No. Our waitlist is managed with careful consideration to ensure a balanced and enriching experience for all campers, taking into account a variety of factors such as age, gender, and cabin assignments. While we don't assign a specific number to each waitlisted camper, please rest assured that movement off the waitlist occurs in a fair and orderly manner, based on the order in which applications were received and the specific needs of our camp sessions. We are committed to keeping you updated on your child’s status and will reach out directly as soon as a spot becomes available. If a spot opens, we’ll email you and you'll have 24 hours to respond. If not, we’ll offer it to the next eligible camper.

No. All applications MUST be completed online through the Hye Camp website.

"Medication" is any substance a person takes to maintain and/or improve their health. This includes vitamins & natural remedies.  Provide enough of each medication in its original packaging to last the entire time the camper will be at camp. ALL medications must be turned into the Medical Staff at check in.  Campers and counselors are not allowed to keep any medication, including over the counter medication in the cabin for safety reasons.

Please list the medication(s) your child will be using while attending camp. Include prescribed rescue inhalers and Epi-Pens.

Must include:

• Name of medication 

• Dosage 

• Purpose of medication

Campers are treated to great food! The camp cuisine is wide in variety, varying from delicious Armenian dishes to camp favorites like macaroni and cheese, tacos, and hamburgers prepared by our professional cooking staff. A make-your-own salad bar is available for every lunch and dinner meal.

No. There is nothing for purchase at camp, so you please don’t send money with your child to camp. Your camper’s registration fee covers all expenses.

No. Part of the mission statement of our camp is to allow campers to enjoy the outdoors. For one week, campers are invited to leave the city and not bring it up to camp. The odds of these electronic devices getting damaged, broken, or lost are very high.

Any cell phone seen in use for any reason will be confiscated and returned to your camper at the end of the week during camper check-out.

Therefore, we ask that no cell phones, hand-held gaming devices, speakers, smartwatches, etc. be brought up to Camp.

If you want to send your child to camp with a camera to capture some of their own special memories, we recommend sending them with a disposable film camera or digital camera.
