Message from Director Vivian Murray
 

Since 1969, I have been attending Camp Hertko Hollow.  During my first year I was a counselor, but beginning in 1970 I became the Camp Director and thoroughly enjoy my duties of preparing for the camp each year.  The volunteer staff members return year after year and have become a "camp family".  Many have moved out of state like myself, but continue to return each year at their own expense to help provide a quality educational and recreational experience for the campers.  Over 110 physicians, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, health professional students, and diabetes counselors volunteer each summer because they care.  Camp Hertko Hollow is a wonderful experience for staff as well as the campers!  

Both Camp Hertko Hollow and the Y-Camp are accredited by the American Camping Association and meet up to 300 national standards to provide a safe and quality program for the campers. Camp staff members are carefully screened and undergo training to focus on a nurturing environment for the campers. We are here to enrich the lives of the campers and provide an experience they will remember the rest of their lives. Many friendships made at camp last a lifetime. Often former campers return as staff members for Camp Hertko Hollow or the Y-Camp.
