Make a Gift

Our donors are truly the heart of the support system that sustains our mission – To give economically disadvantaged children an opportunity to attend a summer camp where they can learn and have fun in a safe, supervised setting.

We count on the generosity of our donors all year long, but in these challenging times, our donors are even more crucial than ever.

Since 1951, more than 31,000 Central Indiana children have made the trip over winding Brown County roads to experience the adventures awaiting them at Happy Hollow. You can be a partner in Happy Hollow Camp’s mission of changing children’s lives.
