Great Day Camp in Hudson Valley
My daughter has gone to Camp Hillcroft for the past two summers, and we anticipate many more. The camp is extremely well-organized with a wide variety of activities, including a strong swimming program. She is outdoors every day and comes home tired but happy. She does see friends from school at camp, but also has many new "camp friends" that we look forward to seeing each year. I am glad that she has an opportunity to develop interests and confidence in a supportive, friendly environment in the summer.
As the rain, snow and freezing rain head our way in Dutchess County, Greg and I are sitting in our camp office planning and working on summer 2019!! On cold dreary days I find myself thinking about the summer and the best day of my year!!! Better than my birthday..better than Christmas and yes better than my wedding anniversary!!!!!
It's the most anticipated day at Camp Hillcroft...the day that all camp directors dream of...the day that all summer camps work towards all year round! My favorite part of camp and my favorite day of the year is....... the first day. The energy that is flowing through the camp, even before the campers arrive, is crazy. Counselors are so excited to meet their campers and really get the ball rolling.
As those first cars pull up, there is an intense mix of emotions; excitement, anxiousness, happiness, and even a slight feeling of fear. But once all those kids run out of their cars carrying their back packs, and the biggest smiles you could ever imagine, the atmosphere drastically changes and it’s one of the best feelings in the world! You suddenly know that you are in for the best summer of your life, and can’t wait to see what’s next in store! Boy do we miss camp :(
