How will SpringHill summer camp foster personal and spiritual growth in your child?
Where They Play!
Children learn new skills when they laugh, share adventures, and have fun. Different experiences also build resiliency, courage, and kindness along the way.
Our camp activities help campers face their fears while encouraging others to face theirs. They practice kindness and compassion by making friends with fellow campers with different needs and interests. They gain confidence, discover strengths, and tap into new interests by participating in events that may initially seem challenging.
Each day, SpringHill campers typically participate in three exciting activities:
HIGH ADVENTURE!
- Take turns on the Giant Swing.
- Swing on the Flying Squirrel.
- Brave the Copper Country Zipline.
- Conquer the Copper Country Rock Wall.
WATER ACTIVITIES!
- Plunge into the Lake from Rope Swings and the Mighty Gusher.
- Bounce off the Copper Country Blob.
- Slip and slide down the 2nd longest Waterslide in the midwest.
- Kayak across the Lake.
CRAFTS & TARGET SPORTS!
- Make tie-dye shirts, candles, soap, or bracelets.
- Aim for a bullseye in Archery.
- Challenge cabin-mates in a Battle of the Bows.
- Learn teambuilding skills on a Low Ropes Course.
Where They Sleep!
Small group camping cabins are a fundamental part of the camp experience and encourage friendships with fellow campers and counselors. Boys and girls have their own cabins and bunk in the Pioneer Village, Fishing Village, or Trappers Outpost, and some weeks they might in the Tee-Pees. Each cabin has electricity and shared bathhouses.
Pioneer Village
8 Cabins | Accommodates 14 campers and 2 counselors in each cabin.
Fishing Village
4 Cabins | Accommodates 14 campers and 2 counselors in each cabin.
Trappers Outpost
4 Cabins | Accommodates 14 campers and 2 counselors in each cabin.
Downtime with cabin mates is part of each day’s schedule. Free time allows them to get to know each other through games, fun, and conversation. Counselors also help them relate the day’s events to the 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.
