My daughter was 3.5 when she came up the hill holding my hand for her first day of camp. That was 10 yrs ago. When I came to pick her up on Friday I was in tears. Where to begin? I could write a book about Hillcroft and I am sure you have heard it all before. From a business perspective you guys are a A+ over the top. You have all the right personnel, programs and safety in place. I love the switch to no paper for everything. It works great. From her perspective and mine…Hillcroft to date has been the cornerstone of her world. she loves it…I love it. She was a mess on Friday and I understand why. It’s a circle of life change for her. I just can’t express how your camp has positively effected my child for life with memories of smiles. I hope your children continue the tradition with Hillcroft to keep it running. Hillcroft is simply priceless and one really just can’t put it into words the value of your camp. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything.
Feeling bored now that your school routine is in full swing? Missing the nonstop adventure of a day at Hillcroft? Well look no further, because we have created a small list of some indoor games you can enjoy at home this year!
“G-H-O-S-T” -The first player says a letter. The next person adds a letter, attempting to spell a word. For example, the beginning of a round might sound like this: "E." "N." "G." "A." The one saying the final letter of a word more then 3 letters long loses. Every time a person loses they earn a letter from GHOST (like in the game HORSE) The first person to lose 5 times and therefore spell GHOST is out. Continue play until there is a winner.
“Would You Rather?” – designed to help players learn about each other, this game is set up in a circle. Each player takes a turn asking a “would you rather…. Or ….?” Question to the group. For example, “Would you rather eat only tomatoes for the rest of your life, or never eat a tomato again?” Everyone will have to pick one choice, and then continue around the circle asking questions.
“I’m Going to a Picnic” (best played with a large group) – Again, players will begin in a circle. The first player says “I’m going to a picnic and I’m going to bring…” and selects a food with the starting letter “A” to bring. The next person will repeat what the first player said, then add a food with the starting letter “B”. This will continue in alphabetical order around the circle, creating a long list of foods that must be memorized. ( Example: “I’m going to a picnic and I’m going to bring an apple, a banana, a crossaint, a devil’s food cake….etc”)
Try these games on a rainy day with some friends, or in class one day with your teacher! They’ll make any day fun just like here at Hillcroft!
