Camp Hillcroft — Local services in Town of La Grange

I went to Camp HIllcroft as a child and I made lifelong friends and cherished memories each summer. I am blessed to have the opportunity to send my daughter in 2023 for the first time and she had the best summer! She was very nervous to start camp and when I told Sally about my daughters jitters Sally, Greg, and the wonderful Counselors immediately made my daughter feel welcome and comfortable and my daughter quickly made friends with not only children in her group but from other groups across all ages. There is no camp like Camp Hillcroft. The attention to detail in their care for your child and activity planning does not go unnoticed. My daughter spent her summer days swimming (both instructional swim and free swim), playing sports, doing arts and craft, bracelet making, among so many other great daily activities. Each day was different. Not only are the activities plentiful, the staff from top to bottom have the same mission of creating a happy, healthy, respectful environment where your child will play, learn, and make friends and memories. On the last day of camp, I witnessed many of the counselors and campers in tears because the summer was over. If you are able to send your child or children to Camp Hillcroft it will truly be the best summer they could ask for. My daughter is already talking about camp next year! Love Camp Hillcroft and everything...

So when we went to the parent orientation, all I can say is I SO wanted to go there myself! My daughter loved this camp so much that this year she had begged to go for 4 weeks instead of just 2! Last summer she did things like fencing, nature walks, reading at Maggie's place, zip lining, and so much more! The counselors are amazing and a great source of learning for the campers. My daughter was able to kind of swim when she started Hillcroft, however there was a huge improvement by the end of her 2 weeks there! Sally and Greg run an amazing place at Camp Hillcroft, and I stand by what I started this review with...if I could go there I would in a minute (or even be a counselor!) This is the kind of camp that kids remember for their entire lifetimes! My goal is for Peyton to continue going every summer and eventually become a counselor...she wants to stay there forever! Update: she's been going to Hillcroft every summer and her goal of working as CIT starts next summer. She'll start doing little things, and as the 8 weeks of training continues she's going to get more stuff to do. Then, summer 2026 she'll be a paid CIT❤️. She'll be 15 going on 16. Camp has been amazing, I didn't know it was going to be this kind of adventure. She's made lifelong...

Camp Hillcroft is an amazing camp. My daughter went for 9 years (1st - 9th grade). My son started in Kindergarten, and just finished up his 8th year this past summer - with plans to go back again in summer of 2019.

They have an amazing facility, with so many things for the kids to do. There are 3 swimming pools - the kids have pool time twice a day (once for instruct swim, and then a 2nd just for play/fun). There are a wide variety of activities that your child will have the opportunity to do....I couldn't even begin to list them all. Rest assured, your child will not be bored, and will have the chance to try many different things.

I could go on & on about the programs, but the other key aspect of Camp Hillcroft is the amazing staff that work there. Greg & Sally are wonderful, and always manage to hire an amazing set of counselors and Program staff each year. Many of the counselors are former campers themselves. The fact that these folks want to continue spending their summers working at the camp is proof of just how special Camp Hillcroft is. You won't regret sending your child there - and they will have the most...
