Welcome to Hideaway Day Camp!

Since 1961, Hideaway Day Camp has given our campers the true camp experience! Located minutes from Valley Forge Park on 72 truly unspoiled acres on the Skippack Creek, we provide our campers the traditional camp experience with our rolling hills, pond, nature trails, and endless streams and creeks. Originally a farm circa 1752, the property has operated as a private day camp for over 60 years.

Go swimming, challenge yourself on our two ropes courses, with rock wall and zip line, canoe & fish, come play on our 18-hole miniature golf course, GaGa courts, volleyball, basketball, drama, arts & crafts, hiking, camp site activity, cook outs, and much more!

With the help of our professional teaching staff, our campers, aged 5-14 (must have completed Pre-K/K and have turned 5 by May 1st ~ 8th grade completed prior to the camp season) improve their present skills, develop new interests, and ultimately uncover hidden talents in an atmosphere that is exciting, healthy and always fun! Stressing teamwork in every activity, campers learn the importance of needing others, building friendships, and working toward each goal as a team!

Hideaway Day Camp Directors and Owners

Over 60 Years & Counting!

Hideaway Day Camp was founded in 1961 by Charles and LaVera Leonard. They ran the program for over 20 years, growing enrollment from a total of 6 children in their very first year to over 200 a season.

Today, Hideaway is owned by Roland and Mary Jo D’Ortone, who also serve as directors. The camp has continued to grow under their leadership, now enrolling approximately 500 campers a season. The D’Ortones have lived on the 70-acre property for almost 30 years and have raised their three daughters at Hideaway. For them, “the true camp experience” is not just a slogan, but serves as Hideaway’s core belief that children need social interaction with peers and interaction with nature now more than ever. Understanding the importance of an educated and experienced staff, as well as personal communication with their camp families, Roland and Mary Jo have created a safe and fun environment for their campers and look forward to each new season!
