Overnight camp on roughly 850 acres in Brown County near Nashville, running since 1951 and accredited by the American Camp Association. Sessions are six days and five nights for campers ages 7-14, with swimming, canoeing, ropes courses, horseback riding, archery and nature exploration. The camp's mission centers on children who are economically disadvantaged, children with moderate to severe asthma, and school and community groups, and it uses scholarships and support services so cost is not a barrier.

★★★★★YouknowdatHappy hollow children's camp is a wonderful place to send ur kids. My experience was absolutely wonderful all it takes is a day for everyone to realize where all in this together. We might be shy but I promise it doesn't take long for everyone to be a team. And it's mind-blowing how the counselors always making sure everyone is ( comfortable, seen and heard ) it's like everyone opinion matter in no kid is left out once u come to happy hollow ur a team. U also get to try new activities that u would most likely never do at home. It's the best week of ur summer. My first year I loved it and I knew that wasn't gonna be my last year. All it took was on week. I'm now going on my fourth year. And I love how much the councilors thank all the staff not just the councilors but every staff member they also make sure the workers and everyone feels at home. It's absolutely heart warming how much we matter to everyone. And I will be coming back for sure!!!!
★★★★★Troy HughesThis is the best camp I been to. Im a teenager and went here 4 times and never got bored. Although I hated the fact whenever I went swimming I got a leech on my feet. But its not recommended if you hate bugs of exercising
★Dawn WhitleyPaid money to send my child to this summer camp and the staff stole ALL of my child’s belongings. Clothes, toiletries, sleeping bags and anything extra. He left with 2 full bags and came back with completely EMPTY bags. The stuff I paid my money for was all stolen (by staff) and not returned (new and already worn clothes). After weeks they brought in all their lost and found stuff from the campsite and none was ours. Someone else used, old, dirty clothes. Mad is an understatement.
★★★★★TalishaHave sent all 4 of my kids there over the years. Great outdoor experience. Zapline, swimming and horseback riding seem to remain the overall favorites. They ran into a few creepy crawlies but handled it fairly well..lol
★★★★★Andrea BeardenThis year was my 4 childrens first year and they loved it! Check in and check out was done smoothly and safely! Registration and payment process was convenient online! The kiddos have nothing but positive feedback about the camp, cabins, activities, food and staff! They had a BLAST! Will be sending them again next year, with additional family members! Its an amazing experience at an amazing rate. Truly a blessing to be able to find a summer camp we could afford for a large family without costing us a fortune! Will recommend to everyone. ❤️ Keep doing what youre doing Happy Hollow! May blessings come your way for your love and dedication to our kiddos.
