Camp Hillcrest at Fayetteville, 8 miles from Syracuse, N. Y., was established in 1919 as a summer camp for undernourished children. By 1922, it had developed into a preventorium accommodating forty children, and remaining open all the year. Two years later, a wing was added with fifteen beds for crippled children, chiefly for those suffering from the after-effects of poliomyelitis. Camp Hillcrest is now a well equipped institution with 6 acres of high ground, vegetable and flower gardens, a shallow swimming pool and adequate space for play and recreational activities. The children sleep in open-window pavilions and attend school in open-window classrooms.
