Camp Programs

Guppies (Preschool & Pre-K)

Our youngest campers are ready for a multitude of fun and exciting activities. This program is designed specifically for our Preschool and Prekindergarten campers. The children enjoy many activities on campus including running in our jungle gym, playing parachute on our oversized playground, trying out their soccer skills on our turf soccer field, coloring with sidewalk chalk on our basketball courts and enjoying water play in our pool. Our older guppies may choose to participate in some off campus trips such as a trip to the zoo, aquarium, museum, or movies and many more fun, exciting and educational trips. Busses arrive at camp at approximately 8:30 am on trip days, so put on your Hillcrest shirt, pack a lunch or pre-order one of our boxed lunches. Sometimes we bring the adventure to us; camp visitors include the bounce house, “Lizard Guys” and “Mad Science”. When you arrive for pickup be sure to ask your child about the days exciting adventures at Hillcrest Summer Camp!
