It's hard to believe it, but Hillcrest 2015 has already come to a close. This summer was another great one at Hillcrest, and we would like to take a moment to thank all of our campers and staff for making it so great.

As always, thank you to all of the families that chose Hillcrest for their children this summer! We look forward to seeing you all again in March for our Reunion and Open House and in July 2016 for another incredible Hillcrest summer!

Throughout the winter, we'll be updating this blog with news about new and exciting programs for next summer, staff profiles, and more.

Wishing you all a successful school year!
