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.

I took my whole Family to a weekend Family Camp they offered, and it was terrific. Our favorite family memories... and the pictures!!!! The lake is fun; we went boating and swimming - the water was nice, not too cold. We slept under the stars, had an incredible campfire with a full program of singalongs, skits, and stories. I loved it.

I grew up on this lake! It helped make me who I am today. I cannot speak highly enough of the love, comraderie, teamwork, and community at this camp. Day camp and overnight camp cannot be beat. I love being on the lake, in a canoe, or swimming. Some of my favorite memories have come from being on this lake. There is nothing like breathing in the night air while staring at the stars at Camp Gold Hollow.
