“excuse” weekend where some, but not all, of the rules are relaxed.
Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. don't miss Jim & Peter's 69th Birthday Party at site 52 (52 Pickup site), just below the Tin Man at the camp's upper level. Come hungry to celebrate Peter's 69th birthday, again!
It will be a birthday BBQ with hotdogs and the hot sauce (meat sauce)
that Peter's family served at the restaurant he grew up in. They will
also have speidies, a local marinated shish-kabob sandwich, plus other
food.
No birthday presents, please -- your presence is present enough for your Papou!

LET US SAVE YOU MONEY TO VISIT HILLSIDE!
Hillside has not
increased its camping fees for the past several years because the
camp's owner knows it's hard for some of us to travel with the high
cost of gas. Camp business has beenexcellent.
Having
a low fee structure isn't an attempt to get more men at Hillside, but
we are seeing that happen year after year. It certainly may be a
positive outcome of freezing fees at a time other camps are having to
raise fees to cover the costs of doing business.
We've been there but now Hillside does not have a mortgage to pay like many camps. It's taken more than 20 years to build on its successes. It's time to give back to our wonderful community.
Freezing fees is the camp owner's way of trying to save all campers money where it really counts. We hope we are doing our part to make sure you can get away this summer.
Hopefully these cost savings will help campers make travel costs reasonable.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE!
MAKE RESERVATIONS by calling (570) 756-2007 any day after 10 a.m. except Fridays, a very busy day for the registration staff.
CHECK OUT THE FUNDRAISER THE HELPING HAND FUND IS RUNNING. COMPLETE INFORMATION IS ON THE "CURRENT NEWS" PAGE.

CAMP CONTINUES EXCITING TRADITION; SERVES MORE MEN WITH FUN ACTIVITIES
HILLSIDE IS THE LARGEST and,
we think, best all-male campgrounds in North America. We take this
challenge seriously and continue to make changes and improvements from
season to season. The 2008 season, which begins Friday, May 2 at 10 a.m., is the camp's
23rd year.
Hillside
is an attitude-free environment and we wish to keep it that way. It's a
place where men can be themselves in the mountains of Pennsylvania.
Hillside is all about individual rights, respect and caring and to be a
Hillsider is special to thousands of men each year. We ask that all
Hillsiders help us keep it that way.Hillside members must be at least 21 years old. A picture ID is required showing birth date when the membership form is signed.
Located on more than 235 secluded acres with over three miles of walkable roads, visitors can always find something to do. Excellent
camping sites exist throughout Hillside with some ideal campsites along
the shaded creek that runs through the campground.
If
fun-in-the-sun is what you want there are sites on the Landing Strip
located almost in the middle of the camp. For those who want to get
away there are a few remote sites. Most sites have water and electric with clean rest rooms nearby, flush toilets, showers and a pure water supply.
For
groups there are very large sites that can accommodate groups of 80 or
more campers. Also, Hillside has an incredible safe and secure 45-acre
play area, isolated from the outside world. It is the largest safe and
secure area of its kind on the North American continent!
The
camp is clothing optional. A popular place to relax and meet old and
new friends is around the in-ground pool where you can swim or just enjoy
the sun. The pool's official opening is Memorial Day weekend but if the
weather cooperates it's been known to open even sooner than that.
Friday
and Saturday nights you can dance at the disco located in the Rec Hall.
If dancing is not for you, you can star gaze by the huge bonfire from 9
p.m. to 2 a.m. or relax at your site.On
show nights the Rec Hall stage is spotlighted to showcase the hidden
talents of campers. On show nights the bonfire and disco start at the
conclusion of the show.
If
you plan to camp at Hillside for a weekend, reservations are a must
(note information on reservation page), otherwise you may find we are
fully booked. No reservations are needed for day campers.
Sites
and rental cabins are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If
you wait too long you might be able to get a site but it may not be the
type of site that best suits you.
PICTURE POSTING POLICY: Camp pictures are posted on this site for the purpose of letting viewers know the many exciting and fun events that take place at Hillside. We're told the picture coverage of most events is what makes this site current and we're happy to provide this service. If your picture is in one of the slide shows and you wish for it to be removed please e-mail the Webmaster giving him the page title, the show title and the picture number starting with the title slide as picture number one. A description of the item that needs to be removed would be helpful (i.e., person at far left, in middle, person with blue shirt, etc.). All slide show pictures are protected so others cannot remove a picture for posting on other sites. We have no control over pictures that campers take and may post on their personal sites. If you are unhappy with an image on this site please let the Webmaster know and he will remove it as long as you tell him specifically which picture it is. IF you find your picture posted on a non-Hillsdie site we suggest you write the Webmaster of that site requesting that the picture be removed. In all cases the Webmaster will hopefully remove it. Thank you for your help in making this site useful to Hillside viewers.
