A Change In Camp Meds

To further ensure the health and safety of our campers we are implementing a new procedure for the administration of camper medications. After much research we have found that using pre-packaged medicine/vitamins is our best step to continue providing top care for your child. We have sent out an informational letter about this new policy and the company, CampMeds Inc. (www.campmeds.com), which will be providing this service to our camp families. Visit our website www.camphilltop.com and look under Hilltop Resource Center as our 2008 Medical Form is now available under Camp Stuff Packet. The packet can be found here. After reviewing the information if you have further questions please give us a call at 607-637-5201.

Travels to Scotland

Melissa flew to Scotland in January for the annual camp job fair. She had the opportunity to meet several very talented, enthusiastic and excited future Hilltop staffers while reconnecting with those from Hilltop’s past and present. Those she had the wonderful opportunity to see were Louise Tait, Kelly Puggmurr, David Chalmers, Neil and Sara Thompson, Neil Henry, Leila Eid, Jenna Kyhl, Steven Pierce, Gary Best, Gavin Melville, Raymond and Hannah and their son, Calan. There are many staff we’ve chatted with, they are doing great but missing Hilltop.

New Program Building Update

The progress on the building has been phenomenal as we have an incredible crew working on it led by Scott. A lot of attention has been paid to detail and efficiency of the program areas that will now be utilizing the facility. Below are a few of the unfinished rooms.

Hilltop Camper Performs in the Nutcracker

Jovanna Fazzini performed the lead child role of "Clara" in the Eglevsky Ballet's production of "The Nutcracker" around Christmastime, at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts which is the major professional venue on Long Island. She was also interviewed in November with the artistic director of the company and another colleague for the Cablevision program "Artscene on Long Island" with Shirley Romaine, which was a 30 minute TV program. The Eglevsky Ballet is the only professional ballet company on Long Island. Check out their website for the company's history and for more info. Many congrats on this accomplishment and hard work Jovanna.

Counselor Update

Jenna Kyhl has been traveling abroad and enjoying every moment but her summer belongs to Hilltop as she will be returning again as the Horseback Riding Director, yeah.

Kelly Puggmurr is working really hard to build a career as a professional photographer. She is living in New Castle and sees Holly Blair, Mark Lawson, Natalie Anderson, and Phillp Bell regularly. We wish Kelly much success with her new venture.

David Chalmers ('05 & '06) will be returning to Hilltop and is looking forward to being your Director of Special Days and Evening Program. David is very talented in this area and will add flair to your summer.

Leila Eid is and has been in Scotland for awhile teaching horse riding.

Here are some of the other staff members returning to Hilltop - Hooray:

Gary Best as the Ropes Director; Sarah King as the Arts and Crafts Director; Sara Yablonsky as boat drivers and waterfront; Holly Blair; Laura Dunn; Brittany Goulding & Jerilyn Rogalski as Waterfront Directors; Steven Pearce in sports; Ben Sullivan as Trips Director; Kris Harris (BC) Head Counselor and CIT Director.

We are very excited and looking forward to the terrific opportunities the staff of 2008 will be providing for our campers. We have worked diligently to find the top staff to make 2008 your best summer.
