Welcome to The Holley Family Village!
Since 1996, thousands of Deaf, Deaf/Blind and Hard of Hearing children, adults and their families from across North America have visited The Holley Institute's Family Village.
This beautiful, lakefront setting in Brooklyn, Michigan provides a serene environment where children and their parents can learn, grow and overcome the challenges associated with hearing and vision loss.
