WHAT IS A PERM? HOW TO BECOME ONE?
A PERM IS a person or persons who own a trailer or building at Hillside. This means the person pays a seasonal fee for each summer and does not have to make reservations in order to use his site at Hillside.
In order to become a Perm, one must first get his name on the Perm waiting list. That list is kept by Hillside owner Dave. Anyone interested in getting his name on the list may see Dave during the summer when camp is open. E-mails are not taken to be added to the Perm list.
When a camper decides to no longer have a Perm site at Hillside he must speak to Dave and make arrangements with the next person on the waiting list. If that person does not wish to purchase the site then the seller may go down the list that owner Dave provides. Please keep in mind that selling a site does not include the land. The land belongs to the Hillside owner and does not go with any camp site. It's possible for a trailer to remain on a site but it is up to the camp owner if that will be the case. This is handled case by case so make sure you speak to owner Dave before you purchase a trailer or building since Dave will need to approve such purchases if you wish to keep the trailer on the same site.
In a few cases the site may not be available and the purchaser would be expected to remove the trailer from the site or perhaps from the camp.
Perms who wish to sell their trailers and/or buildings must work out the details with owner Dave and get his approval to contact campers who are on the Perm list.
At this point owner Dave has no plans to add new sites at Hillside. Thus a Perm-in-waiting has to contact Dave if a site comes up for sale in order to know where he is on the waiting list.
Many e-mails come in each year from campers who wish to buy a site and the above response is sent to those campers.
Unlike many camps, Hillside is very large and has more than 100 Perm sites now. The remainder of the camp sites are for RVs, tents or rental cabins.
