2025 Summer Camp Guide

Day Camp Success Guide

New and experienced campers alike can join us for an action-packed summer full of exciting outdoor activities and weekly field trips. Whether they are making creating artistic masterpieces at the Firehouse, splashing in the spray decks, playing field games on the Teddy Ebersol's Red Sox Fields; your camper will find something new to enjoy every day!

If campers pass their swim test, they are able to participate in free swim if applicable to camp that week. All other campers have the option to wear a life jacket or go to the Alfond Spray Deck by the esplanade. The pool is staffed by American Red Cross certified lifeguards in addition to Hill House’s team of summer staff.

"Our daughter (age 9) and son (age 6) absolutely loved their summer at Hill House summer Day Camp. Every day, they came home with stories of the new friendships they had made and new adventures they had taken. Each week they were there provided a new experience that kept the entire summer exciting and novel! The kids came away with a true summer camp experience that spanned the city as well as day trips - and they can't wait for next year! Thank you for a wonderful summer!"
