A Message from the Hillcrest Day Camp Webmaster
Back when I was a camper at Hillcrest, today was the day I waited all year for. I was the type of kid to start counting down to “next summer” as soon as the last day of camp began—a countdown that usually lasted 310 or so days. It was an amazing feeling, then, when the countdown entered the hours instead of the days, and I started to pack my backpack for the first day of camp!
To be honest, 19 years since my first Hillcrest summer, not too much has changed. Sure, I don’t actively count down the days until summer anymore – that’s what the camp website is for. But I find myself waking up this morning as excited as ever about it being the day before another Hillcrest summer. And even though today always feels like the longest day of the year, I know that before we know it, Hillcrest 2014 will be upon us!
Over the course of the summer, the Hillcrest Jewish Center Day Camp website will share the story of Summer 2014 with all of you. You should be sure to check the “Camp News” page for two-week updates, reminders, and digital versions of forms and flyers that get sent home with campers. Don’t forget to glance at the “Photos” page to view galleries of pictures from trips, BBQs, events, and more! And of course, keep your eye on this “Blog” page for weekly updates from all of our groups, video blogs from Director Howie and others, and updates about everything that happens on your average day at Hillcrest! Links to all of these pages are right at the top of our homepage!
I’m so excited to spend another amazing summer with all of the campers at Hillcrest and to share our experiences with all of you here, at www.hjcdaycamp.org. Until then, I’ll be sitting with my eye on the clock counting down the hours until 9 AM tomorrow morning!
Happy Hillcrest 2014,
