The Hollis Lodge and the Meadow Cottage have been the location for several youth overnights.
We ask one adult to remain on site for every 8 youth in attendance. Our day camp program, Hollis Crossings, offers programmed time for youth who have completed K – 5TH grade. Hollis is a safe park.
Consider bringing a swimsuit, bug spray, sun protection (spf30), a hat, a camera/phone with a strap, water, binoculars, snacks or lunch, sunglasses and good walking shoes.
Over 5 miles of marked trails offer unstructured opportunities to come face to face with nature. Listen for the sound of bluebirds near the meadow or relax and contemplate God's work
in a marshy space on an observation platform. Whether hiking the hills or in the high meadow, there are many encounters with God's creation waiting to surprise you.

What is Creek Stomping? You find a creek and you stomp in it. You can wear rain boots, water shoes, strap on sandals or even go barefoot in some cases. Some kids like to wear old sneakers. Some kids enjoy tossing sticks in the water and making dams with rocks, skipping stones and search for creek life.
Geocaching is an any day, any time kind of adventure that can take you to amazing places. Developed by an Eagle Scout, Hollis has 3 hidden boxes for geocache enthusiasts. You may checkout the geocache navigational GPS unit from the Welcome Center for free.
Disc Golf is very similar to traditional golf except instead of a ball and a hole you have discs and a basket. The goal of disc golf is to get the disc to land in the disc catching basket. Each basket is played as a par 3 (three throws per basket).
The player with the least amount of throws and lowest score is the winner. You'll find Hollis has set up 5 disc golf cages in the meadow for you to use while on site.
Disc Golf is free.
The discs are available to check out in the Welcome Center.
Picnic Tips:
Each Tiny Cabin is outfitted with a queen bed on the main level, kitchenette with a microwave, mini-fridge and Keurig, private composting toilet, and loft.
Bottles of water are provided for guests, as are linens and towels.
Cabins are equipped with a secure Wireless Internet connection, making it ideal work space for those in need of a change of location.
*Please note these spaces are not equipped with running water, but the Campus restrooms and shower facilities are just a short walk away.
With many people facing hardship, your generosity is needed more than ever. By supporting Hollis you give others a place to reflect and renew.
