Make a Donation Online--Help Send a Child to Camp at Mansfield's Holiday Hill!

Mansfield’s Holiday Hill Day Camp has contributed to the healthy growth and development of thousands of eastern Connecticut children for more than fifty years. Be it through a brief encounter or a perennial summer experience of evolution from camper to counselor to adulthood, at Holiday Hill children are at once our present joys and our dreams for the future. Our campers come from many walks of life, eager to learn, yearning to make new friends, ready to take on new challenges and discover gifts they didn't know they had. The skills learned and relationships fostered at Holiday Hill are often life-changing stepping stones on the road to maturity.   

“A significant portion of my values and my work ethic came from the environment at Holiday Hill. This is true for my camper years, but also for the seven years I worked as a counselor” 

Camp celebrates diversity and promotes tolerance. It gets kids unplugged and outside. It brings people together to share happiness and the fruits of collective effort. It creates support systems through a web of relationships between children, adolescents and adults who create a special community together in a special place.

“Thank you for making my childhood such a fruitful and productive one. You all have shaped the person I have become.”

Through a new arrangement with the American Camp Association Camper Scholarship Program, you can make a tax-deductible donation to our campership fund that will be used to send a child to camp who otherwise could not afford to attend.

You can change a child's life today by making a donation to sponsor a child's camp experience. 92 and 1/2 cents of every dollar you donate to our campership fund goes to send a child to Mansfield’s Holiday Hill Day Camp. The other 7 and 1/2 cents is assessed by ACA to cover the cost of administration. ACA is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization.

 
"You have taught me countless things about the most important resource we have—children! You have made camp a very important part of my life. The spirit of camp is something I carry with me always.”

Throw the doors wide open to a brighter future and help shape the leaders of tomorrow. Send a child to camp today.
