Create magic.

Volunteer.

Join us in creating a magical Halloween pumpkin wonderland in support of our mission to help kids of different ages, needs, backgrounds, and abilities experience camp.

It takes a team of committed creators, doers, and artists to imagine and produce the awe-inspiring, one-of-a-kind experience of 3,000 hand-carved jack-o-lanterns of the Hollows at Phantom Lake YMCA Camp. 

Be part of creating this magical journey through fairy lands, Viking ships, mermaids, witches, and wizards inhabiting the wooded trails and glistening shores of camp. 

All proceeds from the event provide financial support for our inclusion program enabling kids and families who might otherwise not be able to experience camp. 

We invite you, your friends, and team members to come out to camp and join us in creating this magical experience and support our mission.

“The joy of watching so many families and faces light up in delight and wonder as they journey through the trail is one of the reasons I’m inspired to volunteer every year.” - Worthington family
