About Hill Top Summer Adventures!
Located on the beautiful 25-acre campus of Hill Top Preparatory School in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, we provide several programs that support social and life skills development for students entering Grades 2–12. We are a small campus where everyone knows everyone else's name.
Some of our campers have various diagnoses, including Autism, ADHD, and other differences.
Our camp is separated into three main programs: a traditional day camp for students entering Grades 2 through 9 (Hill Top Summer Adventures); a program focused on independent living skills for students entering Grades 10 through post-graduate (Pathways to Independence); and an Esports program for students entering Grades 6 through 12 (Esports & Technology).
Our staff is made up of social workers, teachers, and college students who have experience working with students with learning disabilities. Our high level of experience, alongside our 5:1 camper-to-counselor ratio, allows us to support students in any situation.
A portion of our campers come to us funded through their school district as part of their Extended School Year Program (ESY). We are happy to work with your school district should your child qualify for ESY service.
We welcome the opportunity to show your family around Hill Top’s campus, a place where friendships begin. We look forward to seeing you this summer!
