I came to Hillcroft excited and nervous and hoping to spend a great summer. Now I wish I had more time to spend here in Camp and I wish I didn’t have to leave in a few days. I wanted a great summer and I got it and even more.

Camp Hillcroft has given me a wonderful summer full of fun and excitement. There was never a dull moment. Once you get on camp, you know that your’re not at a regular summer camp. Hillcroft is truly a unique place. The first class facility, friendly staff and smiling faces will leave you with memories that last the whole year round and leave both campers and counselors wishing the summer would never end. I can’t wait for next year!

Hillcroft….words to describe Hillcroft are slipping me right now, but I can say that Hillcroft has been a huge part of my life for many years, and each year I grow more fond of this wonderful camp. The staff are friendly and very supportive. Hillcroft is a haven for children to express themselves freely, and a support for the imagination. Hillcroft has carried on a wonderful tradition and continues to do so.
