Holiday Hill Day Camp and Recreation Center - Mansfield Center, Connecticut

We had our wedding at Holiday Hill and we couldn’t recommend this venue enough to any couple! Dudley, Jesse and the entire Holiday Hill staff were amazing both during the planning process and on the day of. I must’ve sent about a billion messages back and forth with Jesse with changes and additions and he was always so friendly and accommodating with all my requests and questions. We also loved how DIY the venue was. We were able to bring in our own caterers which was a huge plus for us. We used Holiday Hills shuttle service as well which was a great addition with a lot of our guests staying at the nearby hotel. Our ceremony and cocktail hour was supposed to be outdoors but we had light rain on most of our wedding day. Thankfully we had the indoor option so everyone was able to stay warm and dry during the ceremony and reception and everything still looked just as beautiful! The venue itself is gorgeous and you would never even guess it was a camp if not for the playground, which actually made for some fun pictures! We can’t thank Holiday Hill and their staff enough for helping make our wedding day so special!

We moved from NY a few years ago and have literally tried every single camp within 1/2 hour radius around us. None have even been close to the fun my daughter has at Holiday Hill. There isnt even a thought on what camp she goes to when sign up comes around. She is so excited to go and looks forward to it every day. This is a true outdoor camp experience that is well worth the money. Her smile says it all!

My husband and I got married and had the reception in the barn this past weekend! It was the best experience! We highly recommend having your wedding at holiday hill day camp and recreation center! The staff is super laid back and friendly! We had such a good experience communicating with everyone leading up to the wedding! And we had the best time ever on our wedding day! Thank you all so much for giving us the best wedding day we could have ever imagined! If the AIRBNB farmhouse is available you MUST book it as well for your wedding! 10/10 Recommend!!!

Our daughter loved the camp. my wife grew up attending this camp as well. 3 stars because the lack of attention to basic requests drove my wife crazy. We live in a city so the independence that holiday hill day camp affords our 5 yr old is unprecedented for her. However, she needed a bit more care than provided due to her age. Despite asking the team at HH - daily- to remind our daughter to apply sunscreen or change out of her bathing suit- (simple requests) she came home each day sunburned and had often been running around all day in a wet, sweaty suit. I think the camp is fun for most kids (as long as they are independent minded) which is important and as a parent you don't mind dealing w/the burns and perhaps an occasional bacterial infection from the suits. can't win it all! 50/50 on if we will back again but our daughter looked forward to each day of adventure.

Held our wedding at Holiday Hill last weekend, 6/12, for 160 guests. It was the perfect setting. We stayed at the on-site farmhouse which made getting ready a breeze. Ceremony was out in the field under the arbor and reception was under the big tent. Gorgeous grounds and our guests enjoyed play a bit of mini-golf and bocce during cocktail hour. The entire Holiday Hill team was fantastic to work with and Dudley even found us a school bus for guest transport just a few days before the wedding. Can't imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

If Google let me give Holiday Hill Day Camp more than five stars, I'd give them an 11.

My son has been going to their summer camp for three years, and my daughter just completed her first. If you asked either of them they'd tell you it's the best part of their year, something they look forward to going to every single morning.

On my end, as a parent, Dudley and Wendy (the owners) have been so great to work with. Responsive, patient (with me!), communicative and just kind, warm people. Worth noting my kids love them, too.

They run a really great camp. Honestly I'm jealous of my kids, because their summer at Holiday Hill sounds really fun. A lot better than sitting in an office all day.

I loved going there this year. I was a camper in group finches 1. I just love my counselor and the other counselors, especially Kyle who is one of the life guards. I also liked Dudley who is the head director of the camp. And I love the big swing, which is a swing tied to a rope that hangs from a tree by a bungee cord. It is really really fun. And I can't leave out the camp store, where you can get ice cream, toys, stuffed animals, candy, drinks,t-shirts, food, water bottles, bandanas, and more. And they also have groups for kids with special needs, like autism, ADHD, depression, behavior problems, and more.

So it's a great place and I had lots of fun.

They do not care about you, just your money.

We had to cancel our wedding because of the COVID-19 pandemic and not only did they give us plenty of attitude but they refused any sort of refund and even told us we would be charged more for rescheduling. Its truly sad that in these trying times they couldn't have been bothered to show an ounce of sympathy.

They'll be sure to treat you nice though if you don't mind paying a ton of extra fees.
