IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL HITP CAMPERS!
Dear HITP Campers,
The Halloween Committee, with the guidance of the park management, has regrettably decided to cancel this year's event. There are several reasons why we chose not to wait to make this decision including not having any assurance that crowd size restrictions would be lifted (we had over 10,000 last year), volunteer safety concerns, and most importantly the safety of the children and their families which has always been our number one priority.
BUT! Since camping is already permitted by the state, all HITP campers may still camp at their sites Thurs, Fri and Sat, Oct 22, 23 & 24!
We have the opportunity this year to turn event weekend into an intimate Halloween experience with just our Halloween campers. This has been a rough year thus far with plenty of uncertainty going forward. If we all decorate our sites making the campground festive, we at least can stroll around at night and enjoy everyone’s displays! It'll be a year to RELAX! I know the Halloween Committee will enjoy that!
The committee has already discussed the idea of trick or treating just for the camper's families, but were very concerned how we could control the public from coming in and how to keep candy free from contagions. We may take time to consider other activities, but at this point nothing is being planned.
All Campers now have several options. Please fill out the survey below so we know where you stand.

FYI: ALL CAMPERS WILL KEEP THEIR 2019 SITES FOR THE 2021 EVENT. If any sites open because campers no long wish to participate, campers who requested a site change may still be able to do so. Kathy will be in contact after August 31 with site options. (Deadline has been extended.)
