THANK YOU RIDGELAND!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Rebecca) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:43:00 +0000

We have dreamed of having a lift at Hope Hollow since we first purchased the property 1.5 years ago. And thank to the awesome City of Ridgeland Chamber of Commerce and the wonderful Linda Bynum that dream is becoming a reality. The Chamber had 2 wonderful bake sales that raised money for the purchase of a wheelchair lift for Hope Hollow.
You see, our main cabin has a 2nd story which is an incredible open space where we are planning to have a sensory gym and music room. Problem is, the 2nd story was not accessible to ALL of our campers; therefore, we rarely used it.
But now, with full access fro EVERYBODY we are dreaming BIG!
Once again, THANK YOU CITY OF RIDGELAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND LINDA BYNUM!!!

Thank You Kyle

Thanks again Kyle! You all did a great job!!! Well Done!

Thank You SGA

A great big thank you goes out to the 10th grade SGA from Madison Central. They came out to volunteer this past Saturday and did a great job.
The girls cleaned in the cabin while the boys worked to dig a trench around our new campfire site.

Thank you Kohls

noreply@blogger.com (Rebecca) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:59:00 +0000

Some employees from Kohls came out to Hope Hollow this week to volunteer. They sanded all of the interior doors and began priming the doors. This is in preparation of our fundraiser, Doors of Hope.
We are so excited about this project! Businesses & organizations will sponsor a door and an artist will paint both sides of the door. We will have a gala unveiling, Doors of Hope, in February. All money raised will go toward eqipping our 2nd story as a sensory gym and also incorporate some outdoor sensory items.
Great things are happenning at Hope Hollow!

Hope Hollow's Ladies Auxiliary's Pancake Breakfast was a huge success!! Over $2000 was raised, which will all go toward camper scholarships and supplies for upcoming events at Hope Hollow!
Thank you to each one of you who volunteered and worked so hard to help make the event so meaningful to everyone involved! And a huge thank you to everyone who came out and ate pancakes! Applebees said that was the most successful Pancake Breakfast that they had ever seen! We should not be surprised.

Golf Classic

noreply@blogger.com (Rebecca) — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 02:51:00 +0000

Thursday was the last day of summer camp for 2009. It was also the day of our Hope Hollow Golf Classic. So, we loaded up our campers and the wonderful volunteers from Meadow Grove Baptist Church and headed over to Deerfield to eat lunch with the golfers and cheer them on as they drove off in their golf carts.
The golfers had a great time despite having their game cut a little short due to some rain. Everyone played atleast 11 holes and fun was had by all.
Praise the Lord for another successful summer at Hope Hollow and a marvelous golf tournamnet fundraiser!!!

We had a fun day indoors due to the massive amounts of rain today. We rocked with Evan and his electric guitar, bounced balloons at music, made binoculars, played lots of air hockey & so much more!
Tomorrow will be the last day of summer camp! I cannot believe how quickly this summer has flown by. We have had so many awesome campers this year and the most incredible, caring volunteers! I am excited as we look to the future of Hope Hollow and all of the potential opportunities. Praise the Lord!!!

We are having another great week of camp! This week we are talking about faithful men in the Bible.
The campers were able to enjoy some rain on Monday....we almost forgot what rain looked like, so it was nice to have a bit of a reminder!
Today, we were able to play outside and burn some energy. We played football,soccer, rock dumping, and many other imaginative games.
We have a great group of campers as well as some new volunteers at Hope Hollow this week. We love new faces along with our faithful friends!
Enjoy some pictures and get a glimpse of camp Hope hollow style!

Plant It and They Will Come

noreply@blogger.com (Rebecca) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 02:10:00 +0000

We successfully finished planting everything for our butterfly garden this morning. Each camper had their turn to make sure that the soil was nice and moist.
One of our campers spotted a butterfly while we were out near the garden. He got so excited! "It worked! It worked!" he said.

After our hard work in the grueling sun, we cooled down on the front porch with some ice cream sandwiches and spent the majority of the remainder of our camp day inside, where it was not 100 degrees! We sang, danced, made flowers, played games and more.

CAMP!

noreply@blogger.com (Rebecca) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 02:13:00 +0000

What a wonderful day at camp! We stayed indoors for the majority of the day since it nearly reached 100 degrees and there is no rain in sight!
With the help of Will's awesome grandmother, we did get a start to our wonderful butterfly garden. Many volunteers were involved in getting our gardening program off of the ground.
Pinelake Madison/Ridgeland- Donated materials & Labor for our 2 raised wheelchair-accessible garden beds
Delta Construction- donated our dirt to fill the beds
Bob & Mike- filled the beds with the dirt
Callaways Yard & Garden and Green Oak- donated a wide variety of plants to establish our butterfly garden
Tomorrow the kids will help us put the finishing touches with the plants and each day the campers will help us keep the garden watered with their very own watering pails.

Enjoy a glimpse into our day at Hope Hollow!

Miss Mississippi Teen

We had a great time last Friday night in Vicksburg at the Miss Mississippi Teen Pageant. All together, we had a group of about 28 folks. We went to cheer on Kelsey Carroll, who is 2009 West Central Mississippi's Outstanding Teen. Kelsey is a great gal and she and her mom treated us like royalty! We ate at Pizza Hut beforehand and then settled in at the auditorium for a fun-filled night with great entertainment.
