Indiana Explore Summer Camp 1 to 3 Grade

A Summer Camp Filled with Faith, Friendship, & Fun

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

indiana-kids

Welcome to Indiana’s SpringHill Explore Christian Camp, where every adventure sparks spiritual growth!

At SpringHill Explore camp, we engage your child’s curiosity with programs encouraging campers to explore nature, challenge their abilities, and discover how awesome God is through everyday camp experiences.

Last summer at SpringHill:

  • Jenny faced her fear of heights on the Flying Squirrel and Giant Swing.
  • Kameron made lots of new friends even though he is shy.
  • Dawn stayed the week despite feeling homesick the first two days of camp.
  • Kendall learned more about the Bible stories he read at church and home.

In what ways will your child reach new heights at camp this summer?

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

ALL THE FUN!

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:

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.
