The Hollow Experience
Camp Life
Children are grouped into four residential villages based on age and gender. Village life centers on age appropriate activities.
Programs activities focus on building individual and interpersonal skills. The overall goal for each camper is to develop self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment while having fun! Program offerings during the scheduled activity periods may include:
• Arts & Crafts
• Day & Night Hikes
• Team Sports
• Reading Periods
• Ropes Challenge Course
• Dance & Drama
• Nature
• Instructional Swim
All campers will be exposed to outdoor living skills, environmental studies, life skills, small group sessions and wildlife programs.
