The Camp Wakonda campers put their newly acquired paddling and rowing skills to the test as they sailed across the lake with ease in canoes and row boats.

It’s not camping without S’mores! Campers gathered around the campfire and kindled new friendships as they toasted marshmallows.

Each session, Camp Wakonda celebrates a holiday. This session was Christmas in July, and the staff and campers didn’t hold back! The group celebrated with festive attire, a door decorating contest, visits with Santa, and presents under the tree.

The barn was transformed into a Dance Glow Party where campers danced the night away with some glow in the dark fun.

Campers stayed busy throughout the day as they rotated through activities including Yoga with Yoga Specialist Paulina, hikes with Nature Specialist Brianna, and dance with Dance Specialist Jazelle.

Nothing beats cooling off with water activities on a hot summer day! Campers had a splash during “Water Night” with the slip and slide and time to free swim in the lake.

It’s Halloween in July! On this day, campers competed in a spooky door decorating contest and stepped out in costumes to trick-or-treat at the staff cabins.

Due to COVID-19 and its effect on the state of New York, we regretfully announce that we are cancelling our HFH Summer Camps sleep-away program for the upcoming 2020 season. This is the first time we have done this since HFH Summer Camps was founded in 1989.

We were excited for the upcoming summer and the experiences we had planned for our campers; however we have come to this decision to ensure the health and safety of our HFH Summer Camps community.

We continue to support families experiencing homelessness in New York City through our HFH programming. To learn more, please visit www.hfhnyc.org.

Our Teen leaders had their first event of the season! They visited West Point Academy where they met with West Point Cadets and participated in field activities.

The HFH Summer Camps Teen Leader program is designed to give campers who have aged out of our summer camp program the opportunity to mentor younger campers as well as learn valuable skills that will help them as they grow into adulthood. In addition to being at camp all summer, the Teen Leader program plans events outside of the camp season to encourage the bond between teen leaders and assist in the mission of teamwork, empowerment, and education. This program is by invitation only—each teen leader was selected by our camp directors because as campers they displayed leadership qualities and a love for camp!
