All about Happy Hollow
Good leadership makes the difference at Happy Hollow. Our Board of Directors are all active members of the church of Christ in this area. The directors and counselors are all members of the Church, and our program is Bible centered. It is because we have the privilege to teach boys and girls to grow to spiritual maturity and to become Christian citizens that we have Camp Happy Hollow. The three-fold goal of Happy Hollow is spiritual, physical, and social growth for our young people. Activities include daily Bible classes, devotionals, swimming, sand volleyball, soccer, softball, basketball, ping pong, horse shoes, tetherball, cookouts, hiking, special activity nights, guest speakers, and special worship times.]
Happy Hollow is for kids, ages 6-19. A camper may come to camp regardless of religious preference. Campers are expected to follow camp rules and pre-registration is required. ( Day Camp sessions Kindergarten thru 3rd grades )

We ask that parents discourage campers from bringing radios, MP3 players, Cell phones, electronic devices etc. No one will be allowed to use the phone except for emergencies. All calls must be approved by the director. Homesickness is generally not a reason to call home. If your child damages camp property, parents will be asked to pay for the damage (unless an accident). We believe taking care of camp property teaches respect. Parents, please avoid picking up campers before Saturday morning. If a camper must leave before Saturday, advance notice must be given to the camp director.
