What is "The Hollow"?
A magical place where the spirit of Christmas lasts forever.
Santa's Hide-A-Way Hollow began as a dream, and was completed in 1992. What started out as a desire to help terminally ill children and their families, has resulted in a
Christmas retreat from the reality of their illness, creating wonderful memories instead.
The Mission of Santa's Hide-A-Way is to bring families together during a very difficult time in their lives. It provides a perfect setting for a visit with Santa Claus, no matter the date.
