We are excited to announce we will once again be hosting Hollis Crossings. Day Camp Week is our favorite time of the year. We miss the belly laughs, friendships made, faith shared, gaga ball games played when the campers are not here! SUMMER 2024 | JUNE 24-27
Hollis Crossings Summer Day Camp is a fun, active and faith-filled week during the summer for children grades K-5. During the week, kids run, play, jump, explore the outdoors and make new friends … while experiencing God's love for all. Hollis receives both staff and day camp program from Camp Tomah Shinga is part of the Lutheran Outdoor Ministry Network.

Most of our campers arrive only knowing the kids they shared a car with, but by Friday new friendships have been forged. Campers come from various locations and socioeconomic backgrounds but through play, worship, and shared experience, the differences melt away and only similarities remain. Play and laughter is a universal language. Hollis Crossings is a week of hope, and hope is what we will focus on this summer.
