Welcome to Camp Lou Henry Hoover Residential Summer Camp, located in Middleville, NJ. Camp Hoover has been shaping great summer memories for girls in grades 1 to 12 since 1953 through learning, discovering, exploring, challenging opportunities, and creating! Each summer, Camp Hoover provides a variety of programs and sessions designed to meet the interests of ALL girls.

Camp sessions run from July 8 through August 18. Girls are grouped according to interest, age, and ability in order to make their stay most enjoyable. In addition to the program theme, they will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of camp activities including crafts, nature, hiking, archery, ropes course, games, cook-outs, and waterfront activities including swimming and boating. Girls will develop responsibility through “kapers” (jobs that help keep Hoover in order) and other fun and enriching activities. Camp Hoover is a journey into independence—a place where the girls and their counselors plan weekly adventures together in a relaxed, noncompetitive, and tech-free environment.

Hoover offers two experiences: General and Specialty. General Camp programs enable girls to experience an array of camp activities every day. Specialty Camp programs focus on a particular interest combined with traditional camp activities like swimming, boating, hiking, cook-outs, crafts, and games. Housing depends on the program choice. Girls can share a large platform tent equipped with cots and a storage area. Just a few steps away from the tents are the bathroom facilities with flush toilets, hot and cold running water, sinks, and showers. Indoor shelter is available during severe storms. The dining hall and program buildings are located within walking distance of the tent units. Based on the program selection, girls may also choose to stay in one of our camp buildings equipped with kitchens, bathroom facilities, sleeping rooms with bunk beds, and a common room for gathering.

Campers are welcome to stay over between sessions for an additional fee of $90. When registering, please select this option if needed.
