“Our purpose should be to produce strong, healthy, happy individuals, sensitive to the needs of others, deeply concerned about the injustices of the world, equipped with the good judgment, the self-discipline and the confidence to help eliminate inequities.” -Josephine Duveneck, Founder Hidden Villa Summer Camp carries on that same purpose today—rooted in the Duveneck family legacy of social justice and environmental stewardship. Each summer, campers from diverse ethnicities, economic status, religions and family structures come together to enjoy a wide range of exciting activities, farm life and wilderness exploration. In the midst of song-singing and game-playing, something profound takes place at camp. Young people learn what it means to live in community. They develop greater multicultural understanding and appreciation, resolve conflicts peacefully, cultivate independence, and overcome personal challenges. Lifelong friendships begin here, and campers take with them a new sense of awe for natural beauty. We’re looking forward to another wonderful summer here at Hidden Villa. Please join us!
