The Atmosphere at Hunt Hill

We pride ourselves on our small, participatory programs, and provide a relaxed “at home” atmosphere. Staff and participants live and learn as a team at Hunt Hill, and you’ll find our staff extremely helpful and willing to ensure your comfort while you’re here.

Housing

Participants will stay in our Long Dorm. The building consists of double-occupancy (two single beds) rooms. Please bring your own bed linens, pillows, blankets and towels. Those who requested to be together will be sharing rooms. Single Occupancy rooms may be requested at an additional cost. There are men and women’s bathrooms in the dorm. The shower house is located approximately 20 yards from the Long Dorm.

Dining Hall

Meals are served in our Barn Dinning Hall and are generally buffet style. All meals are made from scratch and we can accommodate most dietary needs. (Make sure to indicate needs on your medical form). Three hearty meals will be served daily and drinks and fruit will be available throughout the day.

Waterfront

We have a private waterfront, dock and swimming raft. Canoes, paddles, and lifejackets are available for use. Our lakes are deep and cool. We manage the waterfront area minimally and help to protect the shoreline by utilizing a dock system. The water is crystal clear, the ospreys nest across from the dock and it is a favorite early morning spot for visitors to greet the day. We are part of a chain of lakes and early morning and evening canoeing is spectacular. Swimming is only available when a lifeguard is on duty – check your camp schedule.

Library Lodge

We have a comfortable, rustic Library lodge with a fireplace, many reference books, a piano and comfortable couches and chairs. This generally serves as a meeting place for the group and a place to relax.

Nature Store

Our Nature Store has field guides, t-shirts, note cards, toys, games, and gifts. The store will be open at the noon and dinner hours. We also have snacks for sale, but ask that you not bring these items into your dorm. This will prevent rodent and insect visitation!

Mail/Communication

We sell postcards and stamps on site. You may receive mail at our address. Please use our office phone as the emergency contact number – 715-635-6543. Messages are checked regularly. A pay phone is available for you to use in our dining hall. Our office is very small and electronically “rustic” – please don’t make plans to send or receive faxes or e-mail while you are here. Cell Phone reception is “spotty”, but generally good with the recent addition of an Alltel tower just up the road.

Health/Safety

Our staff are trained in First Aid and CPR and the camp is overseen by a local doctor. Nearby hospitals are located in Spooner (10 miles) and Rice Lake (13 miles). Please remember to bring any prescription or over-the-counter medications that you use. 911 is the emergency phone number. Our Health Lodge is located in the side porch of the Farmhouse Camp Office (east side towards the barn).

WHAT TO BRING TO NORTHERN WISCONSIN
