Spanning from the 1960’s to 2004, former Hiram House Camp Program Directors (left to right) Julie Dougherty, John Dovic, Russell Grundke, Scott Wylie, and Michele Rothstein. Grundke, now Hiram House Executive Director, joined the staff in 1966 & was Program Director in the 1970s.

Do you know these people? Chances are if you do recognize them you are probably a former camper or staff member yourself. And, if so, Hiram House is looking for you.

Since it was founded in 1896, Hiram House has served literally tens of thousands of children in our summer or school camps, many of whom are now adults living in Ohio and around the country, and has employed thousands more as camp staff over the years.

We often hear from such individuals who fondly remember their days at camp and long for a way to stay connected to their Hiram House experience.

A new Alumni Association has been formed for both former staff and campers. If you are interested in becoming a member, please contact us to register or for more details.

Register today using the form below and please tell a fellow Hiram House Alum about it too! For questions or more information, please contact Hiram House by phone at: (216) 831-5045, mail at Hiram House Camp Alumni Association, 33775 Hiram Trail, Chagrin Falls, OH 44022, or email at: alumni@hiramhousecamp.org

Alumni and their guests are welcome to join us at camp this summer for this fun, family event on July 12, 2008 to benefit the Hiram House Horseback Riding Program and Campership Fund. (click here for details)
