Hillside Camp

Announcement for Summer 2020

Due to continuing health precautions and the need to maintain optimal safety, Hillside Summer Camp will not open this year. We are saddened to know we will not spend our summer with your children. We hope to welcome you back strong and healthy in 2021.

We do plan to offer some camp spirit this summer. Please watch our website and social media for safe, family-friendly activities for all to enjoy.

We’re humbled that some camp families have already inquired about making a donation to support Green Chimneys Summer Camps. Donations can be made online via PayPal

Thank you for your support.

If you have questions, please email Director AJ (ajohnson@greenchimneys.org) or Assistant Director Stacey (sdamiano@greenchimneys.org).

Outdoor exploration paired with unique farm and wildlife activities enrich the Hillside program. Over 160 acres of natural beauty include a sandy canoe launch along the Great Swamp and the Green Chimneys Farm & Wildlife Center, where campers make furry and feathered friends with 300+ animals. An Olympic-sized indoor pool means swimming in almost any weather.
