Camp Hollis Programs

[Hollis Home] [Youth Bureau Homepage]

Summer Residential Camping Program - 700 children between the ages of 9 & 12 are chosen from a county-wide lottery to spend a week at Camp Hollis. We also offer one "mini camp" program for 8 year-olds.

Counselor-In-Training Program - A 4, or 7 week experiential learning program for youth ages 15-16. Participants learn the basics of camp counseling and interact with campers to gain valuable job skills.

Safety Training Institute - Offered annually in June, the program offers students an opportunity to become certified in courses that can help them get jobs in camp or other recreation programs. (i.e. Lifeguard Training, CPR, canoeing, archery)

Senior Camping Program - A program for the young at heart offered in both June and September! People ages 50+ enjoy the facilities of Camp Hollis, with a focus on arts and crafts, nature walks, canoeing, sing-a-longs, and demonstrations. Both day and overnight programs are available.

Other Uses For Camp - Camp Hollis may be reserved by organized groups or families when our residential program is not in session. (April-June, Sept-Oct and/or weekends during the summer) Youth groups may register beginning in January of each year. Others groups begin registering Feb 1st. Fees for the use of the facility depend on the length of the group's stay.

Camp Hollis Facilities - Camp is located on several acres of land on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. Facilities provide a great environment for all of our programs, as well as outside use of camp.
