When were you a part of Hillcrest JC Day Camp?
 I attended/worked at Hillcrest from ages 6-19, as a camper, CIT, counselor, and group leader.

What did you like most about Hillcrest?
Hillcrest was a close-knit community of people. Everyone knew each other, and most people came back every year. In a way, we all grew up together, and I liked that. Also, the RED BUS FOR LIFE! The trips to and from camp on the Red Bus were some of my favorite times.

Did you have any favorite trips? Activities? 
Splish Splash, or the 3-day overnights at the New Jersey Y Camp.

What have you been up to since your time at Hillcrest? 
I am a full-time reporter for Newsday.com

Do you still keep in touch with anyone from your time at camp? 
Yes, the people I met at Hillcrest are, and will be, my friends for life. We're more than friends -- we're family.
