Camp on the Hill

A Traditional Day Camp

The Camp on the Hill provides campers with a variety of structured and unstructured activities, and a chance to meet new friends and have fun. A typical day starts with a morning session of individual and group instruction in swimming, sports, arts and crafts, music, and dance. After lunch is free choice, which always includes a free swim and two other favorite options.

Special Features/Swim Lessons

As part of the daily Camp on the Hill schedule, campers participate in swim lessons at the Morse Swimming Center. Our swim lessons range from one-on-one lessons to groups of five, with three being the average number of campers in a lesson. At the Morse Swimming Center, our lessons specifically cater not only to the different age groups at Camp on the Hill, but to each individual child’s swimming abilities, social skills, and comfort level in the water.

Our lessons highlight safety, basic foundational swimming skills, and later move on to prestroke skills, and for older and more advanced children, stroke technique. These lifelong skills are all situated in a low-key, fun environment where games are the primary mode of teaching.

Our swim teachers have backgrounds in sports, swimming and/or child-care. All swim teachers are lifeguard-, first aid-, and CPR-certified, and operate under an aquatics director who oversees the daily operation of the Camp on the Hill swim lessons. We aim to keep campers with the same swim-teachers as much as possible to foster the student-teacher relationship.
