The camp operates on more than 400 acres (160 ha), offering a variety of outdoor activities as well as a rich arts and crafts program.

[1] Aloha Hive Camp is located in central eastern Vermont in the uplands west of the Connecticut River and south of Fairlee.

Its major facilities are located in the waterfront area, while residences (including large tents and cabins) are across the road, scattered on the hillside to the northwest.

[2] The original Aloha Camp, located on nearby Lake Morey, was founded in 1905 by Harriet and Edward Gulick, both of whom grew up in missionary families with a history of service.

Edward Gulick was born and raised in Honolulu, and it is from this upbringing that the camp acquired its Hawaiian touches, which extend to the names of some of the buildings.
