Camp Hillcroft Day Camp

Camp Hillcroft is the Perfect Fit for Any Camper in Dutchess County New York

Here's what our Families are Saying!

Parent of 3rd grade child, 3rd Summer at Hillcroft

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.

Of course, we know that every single child is unique. And while sleep away camp is great from some children, it is not a good fit for others. However, that doesn’t mean that your child is not a “camper.” In fact, day campers have the same spirit and livelihood as sleep away kids, and have the same experiences while learning the same lessons.

Camp Hillcroft is the perfect fit for your camper who is not quite ready for the residential camp style, but is ready for a nonstop fun camp experience. Sleep away camp can be a scary transition. Overcoming homesickness is something that not every child is quite ready for, and being put in an entirely new environment is not only uncomfortable, but also quite unpleasant for many kids.

That is why Camp Hillcroft is the ideal summer location. At Hillcroft, children feel more “at home” while at camp, and the return home each night keeps the anxiety of change away.  Our staff work tirelessly to ensure that your camper feels comfortable and welcomed, and we take the well being of all campers very seriously. And since we are a day camp, our communication with parents must stay fluent.

This is a bonus for both parents and children, because it enables us to provide the best experience possible. Plus, we are conveniently located in Lagrangeville New York, just a short drive from any Dutchess or Westchester County town. Afraid your child will be missing out the true “camp experience?” Don’t worry, Camp Hillcroft offers many activities that are true to the traditional camp style such as soccer, swimming, arts and crafts, and nature. Our lake provides campers with the opportunity to enjoy water sports and boating, and we even compete in inter-camp tournament games.

Furthermore, your child will have the opportunity to learn many life lessons. Self-discovery is a major feature of the Hillcroft experience, as campers find their true character and confidence in their days here at Hillcroft. They also learn to be a team player, a leader, and most importantly a friend. Don’t worry if your child is not ready for sleepaway camp. Hillcroft Day Camp allows an at home experience that is comfortable and welcoming to all campers.

Our staff are very caring, and every camper’s happiness takes top priority. Our activities are true to the traditional camp style, and most importantly, our campers learn values that  will carry through to the rest of their lives each day that they spend here at camp.
