Camp Hillcroft, under the guidance of our mature and supportive staff, helps children achieve these goals. Camp Hillcroft prides itself on not only having a superior program but also in facilitating the growth of friendships, values and community awareness.

Camp Hillcroft serves children pre-K through 9th grade in the rural eastern Dutchess County New York setting. Camp dropoff is 8:45am and pickup is at 4:30pm. Transportation is available upon request. Campers may attend for either 4 or 8 week sessions. Before and After care hours are available for a nominal fee. 

When you entrust your child to us for the long, lovely days of summer, we feel proud.

We seek to discharge our responsibility in a caring and creative way. And, to impart the traditions and values of a positive camp experience.

Since 1950, Hillcroft has been a caring and nurturing family-run camp where children "learn by doing". The name Hillcroft comes from "hill" or high location and "croft", the English word for "working farm". In directing Hillcroft, we strive to continue the perfect balance of our goal: personal growth, fostering independence and self esteem, and unlocking your child's potential for the love of learning.

Because Hillcroft offers it all. . . we are different from other camps! We are unique. Best of all. . . you don't have to travel from place to place . . . a well rounded summer is all here! Children have the opportunity to experience a full range of enrichment activities: creative arts, swimming, outdoor adventure, theater, dance, farming and a full sports program.

Hillcroft's staff is special. . .mature, responsible, caring and includes counselors from around the world. Over the years more than forty countries have been represented at Hillcroft. In the nurturing and accepting environment of the Hillcroft community, your child will take home something that will last forever. . . the memory of a wonderful summer and close friendships.
