Day Camp: Hollis Crossings!
Day Camp is a fun, active and faith-filled week during the summer for grades 1 - 6. Hollis recieves both staff and program from Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries (NLOM), an accredited camp with the National Camping Association. Day Camp runs Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM each day (Friday is 9 AM to 1 PM). Campers bring a sack lunch each day; snacks and drinks are provided. The theme for 2008 is “Live Out Loud”.
- Congregation: Congregations have used the Day Camp model as their vacation bible school program, sometimes offering program for younger children back at their church. Please call the Hollis office by December if you want more information about how your church can use this exciting resource. We still welcome weeks under this model but for the three weeks scheduled they will be a mixture of youth from the inner city and youth from partner congregations.
- Individual: Individuals can come to the Hollis sponsored Day Camp at the cost of $65 per camper for the first child from a family and $55 per camper after the first. Campers need to complete a Health History Form and a Registration Form by June 1. Day Camp weeks for 2008 are June 9-13, 16-20, and 23-27. Campers will be coming from all over the metro area and the world. Please contact us for details. Even if you are not sending a child to camp we would welcome your support in the form of scholarships or volunteer help. You may register after June 1, but the cost is $75 per camper, no discount.
- Urban Core Day Camp: Children who would otherwise not have a camp experience this summer are invited to attend any of the weeks listed above. Through generous scholarships from Atonement Lutheran, Central JOCO Thrivent Chapter, Faith Lutheran and many individuals about 80 children will have a camp experience this year. If you would like to apply for a scholarship please contact the Hollis office. Past organizations that have benefited from the scholarship program are ReStart, Catholic Charities (International Refugee Program) and Rosedale Development Association.
If you have any questions about these programs or would like to create a program for Hollis please do not hesitate to contact the Hollis staff!
