Hello Parents,
Welcome to July camp at Hillcrest. My name is Mrs. Kim and I am your child’s camp counselor. I have been here for many years and am looking forward to an action-packed summer.
Joining me in Room 1 will be Ms. Melissa, Mr. Chris, and Ms. Marissa. We are excited to get crafty this summer and enjoy some time poolside as well.
We have a lot of activities, games, arts & crafts, and trips planned for July, such as the inflatable water slide, Movies, and SO much more.
Our group will be having a rest period instead of a nap period. They will be laying on their towels reading a book during rest time. Sheets and blankets will not be necessary.
Be sure to check your calendar daily so you are aware of the events of the day. If you have any questions feel free to speak with any of us at any time.

Room 5
Dear Parents,
Welcome to summer camp. My name is Miss Danielle. I will be you childs’ camp counselor. Working with me will be Miss Julie & Miss Alex. We are working hard preparing for a fun and exciting summer for the children.
We have a lot of great activities planned for this month, including an inflatable water slide, ice cream party, and a mad scientist visit. Also this month, we will be spending lots of time out at our pools.
Please remember to send your child to school with his/her bathing suit on underneath their clothes. If your child is not potty trained please put a regular pull up on under the bathing suit and we will put a swim diaper on before pool time. Two piece bathing suits for the girls make it easier for them at potty time. To assure their safety, we recommend a pair of flip flops be brought in for them to use when walking to and from the pool. They can be stored in the classroom for your convenience.
If you have any questions please feel free to call the center, an open line of communication is the key to a successful summer.
Happy Summer,
Miss Danielle
