Hillside Camp is Green Chimneys' traditional day camp on a 160-acre Brewster campus, pairing classic camp activities with farm and wildlife programming: campers meet more than 300 animals at the on-site Farm & Wildlife Center, canoe from a sandy launch on the Great Swamp, and swim in an indoor pool that keeps swimming going in almost any weather. Campers are grouped by grade as Trailblazers (PreK-2), Blazers (3-5), Trackers (6-8), Leaders in Training (grade 9) and Counselors in Training (grade 10); the operator states its summer camps serve ages 4-15. The 2026 season runs as three three-week sessions between June 29 and August 28, with a standard camp day of 8:30-9:00am drop-off and 4:15-5:00pm pick-up plus paid early care (7:30am) and late care (to 6:00pm). Green Chimneys is a registered nonprofit; the camps are ACA-accredited and licensed by the New York State Department of Health, and the site lists scholarships for eligible families and support services for campers with special needs.
