Testimonials

I grew up at the Hollows - from my first experience at sleepaway camp to my first summer job as a counselor. It’s where I fostered my love and appreciation of the outdoors and learned the importance for moments of solitude and self-reflection. I often find myself reflecting back on those experiences and lessons to navigate through life. Now as a mother, I see the wonder and excitement in my children’s eyes and know deep down that their fun filled days at Hollows will one day translate into the same lessons that they can carry forward.

“ My first introduction to camp life came as a counselor in 1987, the Hollows camp became my home in the summer for 5 years. The family atmosphere of the Hollows allowed for everyone to interact together in all the activities, developing lifetime friendships and lifelong memories. One of those friendships being with the directors Stephen and Janet. Thirty years later I am now offering my children the “Hollows” experience. Without fail the one question I get at the end of their camp stay is “Can we come back next summer?” That’s when I know the Hollows spirit is as strong as ever. This Hollows spirit has allowed me to reconnect with a former counselor Angie Shiner as she was also giving her daughter a Hollows experience. This re-connection has now blossomed into an engagement and future wedding and of course the Hollows being the obvious location for us to exchange our vows. “

"The Hollows is an awesome place to spend time in the summer. Our kids have gone the past two summers and look forward to it every year. The wide range of activities make every day a new adventure as they get to choose what they want to do each day. Kayaking, paint ball, drama , tennis, trampoline and even horse back riding are just some of the things the kids can choose from. It’s great for groups too as our Guide group had a weekend event there this year and it was well planned and executed. The staff always go out of their way to make you feel welcome and the food was tasty and plentiful. The kids are already asking about next year. 😊 "
