THANK YOU!” —Makinzie “My favorite activity is the zap line. Camp helps me get along better with people I am paired up with. It also helped me eat healthier. This is the first time I came to camp. Thank you for the money you gave to help me come to camp this year.” —Kiera “Thank you for all the wonderful food, games, and activities you supplied us with! Happy Hollow is great for all kids.

16th Annual Fall Family Festival On October 3rd, more than 100 individuals attended the 16th Annual Fall Family Festival, one of our favorite events of the year! Our day included a great lunch, camp tours, children’s activities, horseback riding, hayrides, the rock wall, archery, and much more. Thank you to all of our volunteers, donors, and staff who made this event possible. Look for your invitation in the fall of 2011 for the 17th Annual Fall Family Festival!

“A hundred
years from now
it may not
matter what my
bank account
was, the sort of
house I lived in
or the kind of
car I drove, but
the world may
be different
because I was
important in
the life of a
child”

Each year, your gift to Happy Hollow Camp has an immediate im-pact on the lives of children. In combination with the generosity of others, you provide a continuing base of support on which Happy Hollow Camp relies upon. As assistance continues to shrink and budgets everywhere tighten, the impact of your gift grows by helping programs to continue, maintaining the availability of our scholarship assistance program, and supporting life-changing experiences for the children attending camp each summer. Your gift will provide the margin of excellence that makes Happy Hollow Camp one of the leading children’s camps in Indiana. Our recently renovated facilities, a staff that really cares about youth, scholarship support for campers, and the environmental beauty in southern Brown County are just a few points of excellence that would not be possible without your generosity. By supporting Happy Hollow Camp you help change the lives of children in need for the betterment of our communities. Please con-sider a year-end gift that will help this legacy endure. Thank you for your kind support and continuing commitment to Happy Hollow Camp. I wish you and your families a season full of happiness and a prosperous New Year. Yours in Camping,
Bernard Schrader, Executive Director Happy Hollow Children’s Camp, Inc.
Thank You To Our Capital Donors!

With a $3,000 grant from Christ Church Cathedral Women’s Group, we were able to add a new patio to the Camp Store. Campers can take a break from the summer heat and enjoy a snack at the Camp Store.
Thank you to an anonymous donor who generously gave $50,000 to complete our new High Ropes Course! The course is 43-feet high and it includes 9 different elements plus a 400-foot Zip Line and Rock Wall. The High Ropes Course is one of the most popular activities!
The Lilly Endowment provided $10,000 to relocate and improve the archery program. With the grant, the archery program was moved from the horse pastures, a new storage shed and a new overhang station was built, and new archery equipment was purchased.
Since 1951, Happy Hollow Camp has had the privilege of providing a life-
enriching summer camp experience to more than 31,000 economically
disadvantaged and special needs children. Through our educational camp activi-
ties, children who face very difficult home lives or physical limitations find new
ways to overcome their circumstances with the new life skills learned at Happy
Hollow. Our safe and structured program is a welcome change in their lives. Each
year we see children make remarkable achievements while they are at camp.
Children who would never experience the wonder and excitement of the outdoors
are able to have a life changing experience that will have a profound impact on their
development into adulthood. Over 95% of our campers receive the free lunch program at their school. Their
families pay only $60 for a week of summer camp, but Happy Hollow’s cost is $584
per child. With a challenging economy ahead of us in 2011, we need your support
even more as we expect to serve even more economically disadvantaged and special
needs children. Your generous support of $584 will give a child the chance to experience the lasting
impact of camp!

Remember Happy Hollow Children’s Camp with a Year-End Gift Our donors are truly the heart of the support system that sustains our mission—to
give economically disadvantaged children an opportunity to attend a summer camp where they can learn and have fun in a safe, supervised setting.
We count on your generosity all year long, but in these challenging times, your support is even more crucial than ever. Since 1951, more than 31,000 Central
Indiana children have made the trip over winding Brown County roads to experience the adventures awaiting them at Happy Hollow. As the year comes to an end, please
consider a year-end gift that will help that legacy endure. Thank you for your kind support and continuing commitment to Happy Hollow.

The Excel Group employees volunteered their time and equipment at camp for a full weekend! They made many improvements to camp and saved the camp thousands of dollars that can be used to send children to camp next summer! Thank you Excel Group!
