Nashville, IN — Happy Hollow Children’s Camp has received a $3,297,650 grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. through its Capital Project Initiative for Residential Youth Camps. The grant is one of 40 implementation grants being awarded through Phase 3 of the initiative, which aims to help Indiana residential youth camps improve the overall camp experience and outcomes for youth through new, enhanced, and expanded facilities integral to quality youth camp programming. The latest grants, which were competitive, are providing partial support for large-scale capital projects. With the grant, Happy Hollow Children’s Camp will invest in enhanced program spaces that strengthen the camper experience and expand opportunities for year-round use. Plans include developing new program zones, improving safety, accessibility and flow between activities, expanding the arts center, and adding multi-use and weather-resistant spaces that allow for more consistent, engaging programming. In addition, the project will support updated and expanded housing and shared spaces for seasonal and year-round staff, ensuring the camp can attract and retain the dedicated team members who make these experiences possible.

“This investment is transformational for Happy Hollow,” said Sara Noyed, Executive
Director. “We are deeply grateful to Lilly Endowment for their belief in our mission and their commitment to youth development across Indiana. This support allows us to build a stronger future, one where every young person has the opportunity to explore, connect, and discover their potential in a place designed to help them thrive.”
- Sara Noyed, Executive Director

When you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work. From arts & crafts to fishing, our staff are learning, laughing, and getting ready for an unforgettable summer.

There’s nothing quite like a full week at camp. New friendships, outdoor adventures, and moments that stay with you long after you head home. But for some campers, a whole week away can feel like a big step.

That’s why we offer a Short Week Session: June 28 – July 1—the perfect way to experience the magic of summer camp in a way that feels just right.
All the fun, connection, and discovery, just a little shorter.

For campers ages 15–17, the Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program offers a chance to grow into leadership—building confidence, learning to support others, and experiencing camp from a whole new perspective.
