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.
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 :(
