Our daughter attended Camp Hillcroft for the first time last summer. When people ask me about her camp experience I always say I gave them my little baby and they gave me back an independent and confident little girl. My daughter loves camp and we are returning again this summer. Thank you Camp Hillcroft for the wonderful experience you have given my daughter. We are counting down the weeks to camp!

Although life at Camp Hillcroft is structured so that each child has a sense of achievement, a generous degree of choice is permitted and encouraged in selecting activities. Boys and girls learn how to weigh program options and make choices in planning their day.
Whatever activities the campers choose, they are busy and having fun. We find that when children are relaxed and doing things together, deep and satisfying bonds of friendships develop.
Sometimes, in crowded classes and busy families, children’s needs and their unique personalities are almost overlooked. At Camp Hillcroft, realizing that each camper is a special person, our program is tailored to keep him or her happily involved throughout the day. No one is left idle, no one is left out. In this way, self-confidence is enhanced.
