Camp life at Ihduhapi is based on long-standing traditions and our commitment to enriching the spirits, minds and bodies of our campers. We focus on providing an encouraging and comfortable space for boys and girls to learn skills and build character.

The values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and equity are at the core of everything we do.

Housing

Campers are organized into cabin groups by age and gender. A typical cabin group consists of 8–10 campers and two staff members.

We will honor up to two friend requests, if:

  • Requests are made in advance
  • Campers are within two years in age

Most campers come alone and make friends quickly.
