I really liked swimming canoeing. And I really like horseback riding. I like the creek walikg and finding the fairy stones. I like the barn. Happy Hollow is the best.
I like fishing swimming, creek hiking, arts and crafts. I also like being a hopper and I really like the camp store. Today I got a drum stick and a coke.
It has been amazing this week. This is the first time I have been here. I plan on coming back next summer. I liked the swimming and the challenge course, the cabin and all the hiking. I have learned a lot so far. I can’t wait for tomorrow.
I had fun today canoeing and kayaking. I also had fun swimming. So far I got an awesome tan. I also like the high ropes course and especially the zap line. I was scared at first but then got the courage to do it. I was AWESOME.
This whole week has been fun and I have not been bored once. The food is also amazing it feels just like home. My favorites activities so far have been swimming, horseback riding, and the bunnies at the farm and garden. I can’t wait to go to the high ropes course tomorrow.
This camp is great and I’m having a great time. Today we went swimming and on a creek hike.
Next we went and shot arrows and we working on making skits.
So far my favorite activity has been the farm and garden. I liked farming the best because I was able to hold the baby bunnies, they were really pretty. I am stay in a cabin with six other girls. I can’t wait to go horseback riding and kayaking tomorrow.
I am having a blast here. So far my favorite activity is swimming in the lake. I have made a lot of new friends. My counselors are great. I want to stay here for longer than a week I want to stay for the whole summer.
Today I went to canoeing and I went to bows and arrows. I really liked swimming and horseback riding. I also really like the special day. It was international day and we got to sing and play games from different countries. I really liked getting the stick on tattoos from the Australian lady.

Camper's insight into camp
Here At Happy Hollow we have had a great last couple of days. Here are some thoughts from the campers about what they thing of camp.
We went to archery and everyone hit the target even Monica. It was super. We have only been here for 2 days and everything has been awesome so far. I was even the hopper, it was so fun. I have a lot of friends too.
I am having fun. I love camp. I made a target and I cannot wait to go swimming.
Today when we got up we cleaned. Then we got dressed and went to breakfast. Then we did archery. I shot 5 arrows. It was very fun.
Camp is a great place. Yesterday we sang sons and there was a little play/ But then today we ate breakfast and then did arrows and bows.
I am at camp. It is called Happy Hollow. It was almost time for dinner but first we had to get ready so we went the cabin to get ready. We have to do the Pledge of Allegiance before we eat. After dinner we went back to the cabins. We had a little play time and then we went to opening campfire. Then we went and got ready for bed. We got ready and went to sleep. Good night.
Today when we got to camp we met with our counselors and then the counselors showed us around. Then we went to dinner. PS the dinner was great.
Today I went creek hiking and what I liked about it was that we all found fairy stones. I did not like all the hiking. We also went swimming but there were a lot of fish coming up to my toes. We also went to the athletic field. I really liked playing the games on the athletic field.
I went on a creek hike and found and I found a fairy stone but my friend found it for me. And then we went swimming and I liked it very much. And I liked the camp store. I also like the animas. But the best thing was swimming test. I past the swimming test it was easy and all my friends did it, all six of us. We all past the swimming test.
Today at camp I had a blast. First we went to the nature center and studied the animals and leaves. Then we took a creek hike and I found rocks with a hole in it which is a fairy stone. You can make only one wish per stone. It was very cool and fun. After that we went swimming in the. At first I was scared but when I got in it was warm and had nothing but sand. Some of the counselors taught us swimming lessons like bubbles, going under water, pulling a buddy with a floaty, and kicking lessons. Happy Hollow is a very fun Camp.

Sights From Asthma Camp

Sounds from Asthma camp
Alex and Josh are the best counselors that I have had. The food is awesome it is really great. I love horseback riding, swimming, tennis, fishing, archery, kayaking, and canoeing.
Today was great, and the food today was amazing. The fish guy would let us cast where we wanted to fish. Swimming was good because I went under the lake and got these little shells. I am getting a pretty good workout here and drinking a lot of fluids.
Camp is the best! Bow and arrows was ok. But I think the food was pretty good. The best thing that needs more time is rest time from 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 min. Alex is a great counselor the best I have had. Josh is one of the crazy ones. Alex has a British accent thing. But most important you have fun with all the other campers. There is a lot of different things to do. I love doing camp with swimming, camping and a lot of other things. There are good counselors for kids (like us). And camp is also for kids with asthma.
The camp rocks. I like the food, the games, and all the campers are cool. I have lots of friends and we have lots of fun times. My counselors are cool and fun. Josh is cool with tricks and Alex is cool like he is active. The best thing is going to sleep. When we wake up I am so tired but the things we do are the coolest.
Happy Hollow is awesome the food is great. My counselors are awesome! Alex and Josh are fun and I play football against other cabins. We are 1 – 0. I have a cool necklace and it has a fairy stone on it. A fairy stone is a stone that has a hole all the way through it. It is awesome it would put you in awe.
The things I like about camp are awesome. There is really nothing I could say about me not liking Happy Hollow Camp. I liked the food, it was SO good. I liked the hiking, walking and running up and down the hills. I loved the archery. I was really cool. I also though the nature center was pretty cool too. I thought rest hour was pretty cool. I really actually did. I liked the snacks that we got after dinner. I think it is the best that we have showers here. It is the best that we have can swim and dive off the floating dock.
Camp at Happy Hollow is so fun. Archery was the best of all the activities. Josh and Alex are cool. I want to come back next year!
Today we went fishing first. I caught my first one. Then we went swimming in the lake, it was fun. We also went to the basketball and tennis courts. We had Asthma education. I learned a lot. Finally, we went to arts and crafts and made hats and bracelets.
Today was fun. We went fishing and I caught one fish. It was small. I almost caught another but I got a little impatient. After fishing we went swimming. That was fun but we had to swim in a lake.
I was so excited for the day. First we went fishing and I finally caught a fish after my third year. Swimming was fun. I found a full, empty clam shell. I tried to find a clam shell for my friends but I didn’t have any luck.

Life and Times at Happy Hollow
Hello my name is Shelby. Guess what I had lots of fun today. I went swimming, creek hike, played on the athletic field, farm and garden that is all. OH on our creek hike all of us found a fairy stone. I was the first one to find them. We went to the camp store and I got cheetos and a Pepsi. We made necklaces out of the fairy stones. It has been really fun so far. It is my first time here at Happy Hollow camp. I made a lot of new friends. So I am really gonna go I am about ready for bed and I am going to write a letter to my parents. Bye
I got to hold rabbits, pet a pig, goats, roosters, chickens and a cat. We went to do creek hiking. We found a lot of fairy stones, fishes, fairy houses and different rocks like a clay rock. We went swimming in the lake. When we were at the lake there was a small water snake. I was scared but the life guard scared it away. We made fairy stone necklaces with beads on it. We saw a lot of frogs and I was scared because those frogs were really hopping FAST.
My day was fun. We went creek hiking, farm & garden, Swimming, played on the athletic field. My favorite part was creek hiking because we found seven fairy stones. All of my cabin members got one each. We made necklaces. My second favorite was garden and farm because I got to see the animals. My 3rd favorite was swimming we got wet when we it was hot. 4th was the athletic field. It was my last because running and jogging on a hot day got me sweaty. That was my dad.
I see a rabbit and duck and a pig and goats. I got to play in the athletic field with all my friends. I also got to go swimming and I got to go to the lake. I found a fairy stone.
Today is a hot sunny day. But I still had LOTS of fun!!!! My favorite part was the farm and garden. We also went swimming, walked on trail, and found lots of fairy stones. I think the food was great.
Today we went to the farm! My favorite part of the farm is the bunnies. I learned that if you pick up a bunny secure its bottom and its back claws. If you don’t it will think you will drop it, and it will hurt you or itself. The next thing is the creek walk. We found 9 fairy stones. Here’s a tip: If you would like to find one keep your eyes wide OPEN!

Thoughts from the first day of camp
Well we have made it through our first full day of camp this week
When I got on the mountain bikes I thought I’d fall off every time but it was fun. When we went to arts & crafts I made a bracelet I never made before. The creek hike was my second favorite. I found two fairy stones and a heart rock. Swimming was fun. I was the only person in my cabin to pass the swim test. Farm and garden was the best!! I held a couple of baby rabbits and chased the goats. We feed the animals also. We visited all the animals. We had so much fun with all the animals.
I have enjoyed kayaking liked jumping out of it and getting back in. I liked seeing the bunnies. And just doing everything.
I enjoyed the farm and garden center because the bunny rabbits are so cute.
What I loved about Happy Hollow is that we have gone swimming, camped out fishing arts & crafts and more. But I have loved the staff too. Plus I’ve made new friends. It is so Fun.
I really enjoyed kayaking! It is so much fun. Also I enjoyed arts and crafts. Overall I think it is pretty good.
Kayaking was great. Alex was a good teacher. I wanted to go again but I couldn’t. We were going swimming next.
I liked the horses. I rode Katie. I also liked hopping the table. I am looking forward to the special day this week.
I really really liked swimming and kayaking. I also liked playing in the cabin with my new friends. But I didn’t like being quiet for rest period.
Kayaking was my favorite activity. I was really good at it. I also enjoyed chasing the goats at the farm and garden. I can’t wait for the special day this week so I can jump in the water like I did last year with Raymond
I really like the horses. We got to trot and to and got to groom them. Swimming was good as well. I passed both swim tests. The cabin was ok.
I liked nature we learned about frogs. Kayaking was good I had a lot of fun. I got really fit from hiking everywhere and I really want to stay.
I enjoyed horses. I was a lot of fun. I liked arts & crafts. We got to make muck. I am looking forward to my bed though.
When I got on the mountain bikes I thought I’d fall off every time but it was fun. When we went to arts & crafts I made a bracelet I never made before. The creek hike was my second favorite. I found two fairy stones and a heart rock. Swimming was fun. I was the only person in my cabin to pass the swim test. Farm and garden was the best!! I held a couple of baby rabbits and chased the goats. We feed the animals also. We visited all the animals. We had so much fun with all the animals.
I have enjoyed kayaking liked jumping out of it and getting back in. I liked seeing the bunnies. And just doing everything.
I enjoyed the farm and garden center because the bunny rabbits are so cute.
What I loved about Happy Hollow is that we have gone swimming, camped out fishing arts & crafts and more. But I have loved the staff too. Plus I’ve made new friends. It is so Fun.
I really enjoyed kayaking! It is so much fun. Also I enjoyed arts and crafts. Overall I think it is pretty good.
Kayaking was great. Alex was a good teacher. I wanted to go again but I couldn’t. We were going swimming next.
I liked the horses. I rode Katie. I also liked hopping the table. I am looking forward to the special day this week.
I really really liked swimming and kayaking. I also liked playing in the cabin with my new friends. But I didn’t like being quiet for rest period.
Kayaking was my favorite activity. I was really good at it. I also enjoyed chasing the goats at the farm and garden. I can’t wait for the special day this week so I can jump in the water like I did last year with Raymond

Life at Happy Hollow
My week of camp was great I learned to do so many new things. On our first day we went canoeing and I feel out but I was ok. Then we went to ride bikes. It was fun going up and down the hills. The second day we went to nature and built a pond and put fish in it and then we went swimming. I went on the high ropes too. I was a little scared but I made it. Then we are going to camp out. All in all Camp Happy Hollow wins my vote for being a great for kids, big or small, to have FUN.
I have been to the basketball court and farm and garden. Also I went on a creek hike and swimming and to the challenge course. It was really fun I think it is the best camp here. So I think you should pick Happy Hollow
Today we saw the pig and her name was shoelace. I held a bunny and it was cute. I eat swimming and had a blast. We played at the challenge course and played one of my favorite games.
Today we went to the flagpole. That is where we put up or take away the flag. After flag pole we had breakfast we had ham, bananas juice water bread cereal and milk. We went to the basketball courts which also had a tennis court built in. We went to an activity called farm & garden and Miss Monica told us about the rules. They were easy to learn and not complicated.
Today we did some cool new stuff like a creek hike and swimming, tennis, basketball and last but not least the challenge course. Also we are doing this skit. What you are supposed to do is make up this skit and perform it in front of everybody.
We went swimming and went on a creek hunt. We went on a basketball court and played. We went to farm and garden and we got to pet animals.
Today was fun. We played flashlight. I almost cried because I missed my friend. She is my new best friend. She is like a sister to me. I am going to miss her.
The first few days of camp I’ve made three new friends. I’m having a lot of fun. When we went swimming in the lake I was scared at first but then I got used to the water. After playing tennis and basketball we rode some horses. I was SO scared but I got used to the big pretty horses.
The things I love about camp are swimming horseback riding, activities and just having straight up fun and I love doing everyone’s hair. Also so far what we have done is mountain bikes, swimming, walking on the trails, singing, farm and garden, and horseback riding. I can’t wait for anything else. I love camp so much sometimes I don’t want to leave but I know I have to. And last but not least since I have been 4 years I’m sure I’ll always have fun Thank you so much.

Yesterday was awesome we did so much fun we rode mountain bikes and way more it was so much fun. My favorite part was farm & garden. I got to feed a pig, a rooster, and we got to pet the animals. My favorite was the bunny. My bunny was the baby named Ozzy.
So I went to breakfast had some food and then we went to the basketball courts. After that we went to walking archery that was cool. We had to go swimming next that was cool too. So that was my day I will see you soon.
At the beginning of camp we got a tour of the camp. Then we got assigned to our cabins, I am in cabin B1. We did archery that was my favorite. I didn’t like that we had to get up at 7:00 in the morning. Some more things that I liked about camp were swimming, creek hiking and the athletic field. My counselors are Anne and Amanda. I had fun.
Since I have been here I have had a lot of fun we went creek hiking and my tennis shoes got all wet. And when I went to archery I missed all of the targets. I am looking forward to going horseback riding. But the only part I didn’t like was the part when I had to go to sleep.
What I really liked is swimming, creek hiking, basketball and horses. Sally is my favorite. I also liked the farm.
At the beginning we went creek hiking and it was so fun. My favorite was horseback riding. My second favorite was archery.
At the beginning we went creek hiking through the water. I loved the farm. My favorite part of the farm was the bunnies. I got really tried going up and down big hills. I’m looking forward to horseback riding I am having a lot of fun.
I liked setting the table. I love riding the prettiest horse. I don’t like getting my shoes wet but I love fishing but we didn’t catch any fish at all. We did see two snakes one was big and one was small. They stuck their heads out of the water they was so pretty. It was fun going to the farm I love bunnies they are so cute I hope the little on feels better.
Today at camp we went to do the high ropes. The high ropes were fun. We also went mountain bike riding and that was so much fun. I had a ball the group I am in. We went canoeing and I didn’t want to go but it was fun.
Hi, I am having a good time here at Happy Hollow we meet new people and gain friendship. Also my canoe got tipped over.
So far at camp it has been fun. I’ve went to canoeing and it was fun. Also mountain biking I had a very nice time.
Campers thoughts about camp
Coming to Happy Hollow was very weird but I got really used to it. The first day I got here I thought it was going to be really boring and the people were going to be mean and they wasn’t. As the days kept passing I made new friends and did new things. So as I thought that it was going to be boring I thought wrong it is really cool & fun.
This is my 1st year at Happy Hollow and so far I’ve had a lot of fun. You get to personalize your space in your bunk and get to do a lot of fun things here that you haven’t done before. You also get a chance to make lots of new friends.
So far at camp we have done canoeing skits swimming and mountain bike riding. Today we are going to go camping out. For dinner while we are camping out one of our counselors is going to make soft tacos. When we are swimming we do fun stations in the water and we do optional tests. Also today for our activities we did high ropes. The counselors here are very active, funny, cool, helpful, and gifted. Yesterday my cabin got to goldfish from a Wal-Mart. Then we built a pond by digging up a lot of dirt, sticks and rocks and we put in a black tub in the ground. Next we put rocks and mulch around it and it now looks very pretty. Michelle let me name the fish Connor and Goldie. Connor got eaten by a raccoon or something. I really look forward to doing the next two activities for the last two days.
I had an awesome time at mountain biking and at swimming. A splash came from behind me I looked over and a fish was swimming. I ran after it and caught it with my bare hands. Matt the fishing instructor said he should have been there.
Things I like at Happy Hollow Camp are breakfast, lunch dinner, bow and arrows and the snack. I had fun finding the fairy stones in the creek. The best is kayaking.
I love the lake and the hot tub spring. I love to go horseback riding and fishing and the little play and walking in the woods.
My favorite thing to do is horseback riding and Arts and crafts I love our beds too. And today we went creek walking it was cool. There are lots of things to do here.
I like canoeing and I found a fairy stone. We went on a creek hike. It is a lot of fun.
Horse back riding is my favorite. Today I found a fairy stone. I am really having fun!!!
I like horseback riding the best. I like swimming in the lake. I like the food, the food is so so good. The creek is fun and I like the hot tub spring.
Today I liked the farming because we got to feed the animals and play with them. I really liked the bunnies because they are soft and my favorite bunny was a brown and white bunny
Happy Hollow is awesome! I really enjoyed kayaking, high ropes, swimming and the arts and crafts. They are all really exciting. I especially like kayaking.

Special visitors
We would like to send a special thank you to the National Guard. Yesterday at 2:30 the National Guard brought a Blackhawk Helicopter to camp. The campers were given the opportunity to ask questions and to get up close with Helicopter. Many of the campers even had the opportunity to get inside and see what it was like to sit in one. There were a lot of smiling faces and a lot of questions about how the helicopter. At 4:00 the National Guard took off and said goodbye to the campers with a low fly by right over the camp. Many of the campers said that this was the one of the most exciting things they have seen. The campers really enjoyed themselves and they wanted to send a HUGE thank you to the National Guard and the 3 Pilots that came out for the afternoon.

This morning my Favorite thing was when the helicopter landed on the athletic field and we looked inside it and it was cool!!!!!
The Funnest thing I did today was when it was time for slip and slide. The reason why I liked it is because even though I didn't do the slip n slide I still got wet by many people. And Many other people got wet by me. I really love Happy Hollow and I would surley love to come back next year.
This Morning I went to the challenge course and had so much fun. Then my cabin practiced our skit it was fun. Also We waited to see the navy. Then we water slide and got wet.

First Day of Camp
Campers Toughts about their first day,
I was skeptical about camp & it is fun so far & I like it. I even have a friend here to keep company and comfortable. I think I am going to like it here all except the bugs. But other than that I like it as it is my first time!!
Today is sweet like a lollipop. We came here to have fun and everyone is actually nice. Nice isn’t it. I know other wise people would probably be sitting at home watching tv and eating junk food. That is real bad for you y’know.
The best thing today was swimming. It is my favorite because I like to swim. The things I did today was swim in a lake canoe, fishing, a creek walk and a hopper and having fun. I like swimming because it feels good and you get to practice swimming. Canoeing was scary but I kind of liked it. Fishing was ok, creek walk was great. I loved it and we got to put clay on our faces because we found some in the creek. Hopping was great we walked A LOT. I love Camp Happy Hollow!!
Toady I enjoyed fishing, canoeing, and swimming. Also I enjoyed the part where I got buried in the sand.
Today we went swimming (that was the best). But creek hiking is fun you find clay and you put it on your face. Canoeing is fun to. You will have fun.
There are a lot of things I did today. My favorite thing today was that I went swimming. I also went canoeing. My cabin went on a creek hike and we went with the nature lady. And she taught us about a habitat. There is a lot of stuff to enjoy. Happy Hollow is a great place to go to camp.
We went canoeing, swimming, nature center and fishing. My favorite was fishing and canoeing because there would be 2 people in it but later this week we would go kayaking which is one of my favorites. Thank I love being in Happy Hollow Camp.
