USE OUR CAMP

The best place to start is by filling out our  RESERVATION REQUEST FORM.  On this form, you will have the option to add up to three dates to check for availability.  We will do our best to accommodate your first choice, but may need to look at your other options. If none of them are available, we will reach out to you and see if there are any dates that might work.

PLEASE NOTE: The months of JUNE & JULY are not available as a general rule. These are the months that we host our in-house programming (Summer Camp). We do occasionally make exceptions for groups of 100+ and ONLY during times that are not blocked off for one of our sessions. If you have questions about this, please feel free to email Melissa at retreats@highhillcamp.org 

We want your retreat-planning process to be as easy as possible, which is why we provide additional services, equipment rentals, and activities – so that you can have peace of mind. Please contact our office if you have any questions about the services and equipment we are able to provide.

We do our best to accommodate SEVERE food allergies (such as nuts) within your group, but we are not allergist professionals.  If you have someone in your group that is allergic to common items such as dairy or gluten, they may choose to bring their own food and will NOT be charged for our food service.  Because of cost, we cannot prepare individualized dishes for members of your group that are gluten/dairy/meat free unless specified on the meal selection form.
