Ages 4–18 | All-Inclusive, Extended Day Summer Camp

Set on the beautiful Haverford College campus, DEAN Adventure Camps is designed around two things: giving kids hands-on adventures and making summer genuinely easy for families. 

No hidden fees, no daily decisions, no stress. Just a great summer for everyone. 

A Summer of Making, Exploring, and Creating

At DEAN, campers explore an area they love while developing tangible skills and characters through themed, week-long camps including:

• Woodworking
• Culinary Arts
• Machine Sewing
• Performing Arts
• Innovation Lab
• Velocity 
• Design & Style
• Trailblazers

Younger campers are gently introduced to new experiences through play-based exploration and supportive routines. Older campers take on more complex projects, greater independence, and technical skill-building with no prior experience required.

A Calm, Purposeful Camp Day

What sets DEAN apart is its intentional approach to summer.

• Counselors who know each child by name
• Clear daily rhythm and structure
• Balance of creativity, choice, and guidance
• Projects campers are proud to bring home

Campers leave each day tired, happy, and confident in what they can do.

Designed to Be Easy for Parents

DEAN is built around the realities of busy families:

• Full-day coverage: Flexible drop-off (7:30am-9:00am) and pick-up (3:30pm-5:30pm) included
• Breakfast, lunch, and snacks provided daily
• All materials and equipment included
• Clear communication and smooth logistics

Join at Any Age, Grow At Every Stage

Many families return week after week and year after year as campers move from early discovery programs into specialty studios, advanced projects, and leadership opportunities for teens. This continuity helps kids deepen interests, build confidence over time, and form lasting friendships in a community that feels safe, welcoming, and purposeful.

Ages 4-18

At Hill Top, we offer three specialized programs designed to help neurodiverse students learn, grow, and thrive in a supportive and engaging environment:

☀️ Hill Top Summer Adventures
A day camp for students entering Grades 2–9, filled with hands-on activities that build confidence, spark creativity, and strengthen social connections.

🌿 Pathways to Independence
A life-skills program for Grades 10–post-grad (summer after 12th grade), focused on developing independence, community engagement, and transition readiness.

🎮 Esports & Technology
For Grades 6–12, this program blends gaming, teamwork, and tech exploration while promoting communication, collaboration, and digital literacy.

We’re proud to integrate the PEERS® Program, an evidence-based social skills curriculum, into our Pathways to Independence program for motivated teens. Middle school campers can also join a two-week PEERS® group (8:00–9:30 a.m.) for an additional fee, allowing them to participate in both PEERS® and the full camp experience.

Our compassionate team maintains a 4:1 camper-to-staff ratio, ensuring personalized support and meaningful connections. Many families participate through Extended School Year (ESY) funding. We are happy to work with your school district to coordinate enrollment.

Join us this summer at Hill Top—where confidence grows, friendships flourish, and every camper can say, “Yes, I can!”
