I sent my reluctant 12 and 10 year old kids who came back believers! They loved the staff and all of the amazing activities. I would absolutely recommend.

I’ve been sleeping under the stars at Camp Gold Hollow for many years. It’s a rustic place, free of electronic devices, where kids can unplug and be themselves in a pine forest overlooking a beautiful private lake, learn about nature, go swimming and canoeing, and develop lifelong friendships.
