We’re here to help your child connect with God this summer

Last summer at SpringHill:
In what ways will your child reach new heights at camp this summer?
Where They Play!
At SpringHill, the synergy of faith and fun is evident at camp. New adventures foster skill development, instill courage, and induce laughter as campers thrive with supervised fun.
During their week at SpringHill, campers face fears and gain new skills on the climbing wall and ropes courses. They learn compassion and kindness as they make new friends from different backgrounds – and become more confident and resilient as they master new skills.
Each day, campers typically participate in three fun and exciting activities:
HIGH ADVENTURE!
- Sail on the Flying Squirrel.
- Soar on the Giant Swing.
- Overcome the Climbing Wall & Euro Bungy.
- Play on the Vertical Ropes Course.
WATER ACTIVITIES!
- Bounce on the Redbrush Trapeze.
- Rush down the Redbrush Gusher.
- Jump on the Redbrush Trampoline.
- Explore the lake by canoe.
CRAFTS & TARGET SPORTS!
- Crafts include tie-dye shirts, candle making, and friendship bracelets
- Hit your target in Archery.
- Make friends during Field Games.
- Catch a Fish in the Lake.
Where They Sleep!
The adventure doesn’t stop when the day comes to a close. Explore campers’ sleep in Teepees that encourage your child to bond with fellow campers and their counselors as an integral part of the camp experience. Boys and girls sleep separately with other first to third graders. Each cabin has electricity and shared bathhouses.
Teepees
Accommodate up to 7 campers and 1 counselors.
The daily schedule leaves dedicated downtime with cabin-mates, helping your child learn from peers and form lasting friendships. During free time, they might play games, have quiet time, or discuss the daily spiritual theme.
Innovative Programs for Campers with Physical Disabilities
SpringHill provides innovative programs that include campers from all walks of life and all skill levels. Most of our activities can accommodate children with physical limitations. In addition to accommodations, we offer one-on-one staffing for campers who need extra assistance during their camp experience.

Making no distinction between faith and fun to help kids discover spiritual truth inside everyday experiences.
People
Inspired, trained, and professional staff and volunteers who fulfill our mission and vision in alignment with our core values.
Community-focused
Everything at SpringHill happens within small communities that facilitate and enhance relationship.
Don’t let finances keep your child from experiencing camp!
