I was very disappointed with this camp, especially for the cost. There is no accountability for students behaviors and verbal bullying, there is no support for behavioral needs of any kind, and the children are mostly looked after by other children. Both me and my sister have tried to send our kids here and we were both utterly disappointed. I will never send my child here again and would never recommend this camp to anyone. Definitely not worth the price.

Holiday Hill is a beautiful camp set on the mountain. The lodge, the grounds and the pool are second to none. The counselor to camper ratio is around 4:1 and supplemented by activity specialists as well. There are two nurses on staff every day. Security is tight. Bus service is provided from many different towns for free. Additionally, a red cross certified swim lesson is provided in the cost of the camp. Activities are fairly oriented towards sports and include archery, swimming, canoeing, basketball, mini-golf, dance, etc. The food is excellent and also included in the price. Snacks, drinks, lunch and popsicle/ice cream provided every day. Overall, this is a well run camp with a lot to offer.

They treat you like you're 5 even when you're almost as old as the CIT's. The councilors were so obsessed about themselves they wouldn’t notice if you fell off a building, and the campers were way to clicky you weren’t likely to have allot of friends as you got older. I do like some of the older staff member though

I went for one summer, and I hated it. I was in a group were I didn't like any of the kids, and had no friends. My favorite part was the hour bus ride, where I had my one friend who didn't even like me. This camp sucks, it ruined my summer, and it was awful and I had the worst summer of my life. Please don't come here, it's horrible and no one's nice.

Holiday Hill is not a good place to go for camp. They make it look like something it is not. The staff in the camp isn't that great. The group leaders are stalkers and one of them even blamed my whole group for something that we didn't even do. This camp is made to look like something it is not. On Parent's Day, it is SOOOO FAKE. The counselors and CITS are made to tuck in their shirts, something that does not happen every day. Also, the group leaders are so nice, something they aren't every day. The monetary value is horrible because it costs so much and it is not worth that much. Please do not send your child to this camp. It is not worth your money or your time.

The camp is beautiful. My daugther loved it. It was her first time going to camp and when she came home she was delighted. The parents day was wonderful. The counselers were sweet and the head counselers were very receptive to the needs of the children and the concerns of the parents.The facilities are beautiful and well maintained.

Well the place looks beautiful; unfortunately the kids don't seem to be treated very well by the counselors, and thus don't treat each other well either. My daughter's favorite part of the camp was the hour long bus ride there, which tells you a lot! She will not be returning.

That was the worst summer of my life! It was boring cheezy and stupid. You provided ur own lunch, you had to go to a camp meeting every day to hear this guy say the stupidest jokes ever! For God's sake they had a pool instead of a lake! To go there eveyday for half a day it was more expensive than the awesome camp I go to now that is for 2 weeks and its overnight! And what kida camp song is "We're all birds tweet tweet all little birds tweet tweet." Gag me. I WAS BULLIED BY A CONSELOUR. Save your money and summer.. dont go there!
