The Hollows at Phantom Lake YMCA 2025
The time children are little is so brief, and the Hollows at Phantom Lake YMCA organizers believe that they should not be cheated of a magical experience for the Halloween season any year. Join in for an enchanting evening stroll through the magical Halloween pumpkin wonderland while supporting the mission to help kids of different ages and abilities experience camp.

The Hollows will be held on the weekends in October at Phantom Lake YMCA Camp, S110W30240 YMCA Camp Road Mukwonago, WI 53149. With its rolling hills, scenic trails, and haunting waters, PLYC is the perfect location to host this fall spectacle. Dating back to 1898, it is Wisconsin’s oldest youth camp. Proceeds raised from this event will benefit the camp’s scholarship program.
