Best Camp around!


Our family is on our third child attending camp there. I can’t keep my kid home if I tried! She doesn’t want to go on vacation and miss camp. That pretty much says it all! Great place!

Parent of CIT, 6th Summer at Hillcroft

My daughter spent many summers at Camp Hillcroft.  The memories that she has and the friends that she made along the way will be with her forever.  The counselors, employees and the owners really make it an amazing experience for the kids.

We tried several camps for our kids before we found Hillcroft, and we've never looked back.  They've gone for three summers now and the place is charming, well-run, and full of new lessons to learn.  We feel so lucky to have the kids attend.

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.

My 3 kids have been attending Camp Hillcroft for the past 8 summers. It is a tremendous experience - the swimming, the crafts, the cooking, the trips - they look forward to it all year long. Being part of the Camp Hillcroft community, is being part of something very special.

Camp Hillcroft is the place to be for summer! I have 2 children enrolled who count down the days till camp every winter. From the nurturing and caring staff, to the exciting activities, fun after camp activities and everything in between. And most importantly the friendships and memories my kids are making is one for the books!

Parent of 6th and 8th grade children, 5th and 7th Summer at Hillcroft

My children have been going to Camp Hillcroft since they were in 1st grade. This year they will be returning as 6th and 8th graders, and are JUST as excited as they were the first time they went. As a parent, I couldn’t be any happier. My kids have very different personalities (one is shy, one is very outgoing) and they both come home each day happy, engaged and exhausted:) From swimming and crafts, to farming and zip lining, Hillcroft has it all! Most importantly, it is extremely well run, and I have the utmost confidence in their safety and well-being while there.

Parent of 4th grade and 2nd grade children, 2nd Summer at Hillcroft

This is our second summer. Our son ( age 9), the shy one, was hesitant at the beginning of this year. Having him with “old” friends and placing him with an amazing counselor again gave him the continuity and familiarity he needed. He LOVES camp and requested to be back again NEXT summer too. Our daughter ( age 7) loves camp so much she is already making plans to be a CIT, then counselor. Thanks for such a wonderful setting!

Parent of 9th grade daughter, 10th Summer at Hillcroft

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.

Parent of 2nd grade daughter, 1st Summer at Hillcroft

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!
