A Traditional Day Camp
The Camp on the Hill provides campers with a variety of structured and unstructured activities, and a chance to meet new friends and have fun. A typical day starts with a morning session of individual and group instruction in swimming, sports, arts and crafts, music, and dance. After lunch is free choice, which always includes a free swim and two other favorite options.

What to Bring
Campers should dress so that you will be ready to participate actively in games and skill building activities. We recommend wearing shorts and a t-shirt or sweatshirt, depending on the weather. Your child's footwear should provide good lateral support and be appropriate for the sport in which he or she is signed up. In addition, you should bring an athletic bag with sun block, swimsuit, towel, change of clothes for the afternoon session, and jacket in case of rain. Campers should bring some type of smock for arts and crafts (an old T-shirt can be used). Finally, be sure to clearly label all items.
