Michigan Summer Camp New Frontiers 6 to 9 grades
Faith Can Grow at Summer Camp
Where New Adventures Nurture Faith
Welcome to Michigan’s SpringHill New Frontier’s Christian Camp where new adventures nurture faith!
At SpringHill New Frontiers Christian summer camp, we seek to strengthen your child’s connection with God through fun. We encourage them to become a follower of Christ, to find Christ-like solutions to challenges, and to look to God for help. As they practice Christian principles they naturally identify with and become more like Jesus.

What personal and spiritual growth will your child experience this year at church camp?
Where They Play!
At SpringHill, joy and faith intertwine. Adventures bring laughter, skill-building, and lessons in courage, kindness, and resilience through counselor-directed activities.
During their week at overnight camp, they overcome challenges, explore interests, gain skills, and learn to look for God in everyday events. Our schedule fosters friendships, encourages acts of compassion, and teaches by example. These new experiences give them confidence and increase their resilience while navigating middle school.
Each day, campers typically participate in three exciting activities:
HIGH ADVENTURE!
- Conquer New Frontiers Rock Wall.
- Fly across the New Frontiers Zipline.
- Fearlessly face the Solo Challenge.
- Master the High Ropes Course
WATER ACTIVITIES!
- Defy the Water Ropes and Gusher.
- Bounce on the New Frontier Blob.
- Plunge down the 3rd longest Waterslide in Michigan.
- Explore the Lake on SUPs.
CRAFTS & TARGET SPORTS!
- Create tie-dye shirts, candles, soap, or paracords.
- Join a friendly battle of Laser Tag
- Challenge friends to a game of Paintball.
- Perfect their aim in Axe Throwing.
Where They Sleep!
Middle school years are a time of change and increased self-awareness. To help campers make friends, we provide larger cabins, sleeping up to 14 people. Each cabin has electricity, AC, and shared bathhouses. Boys and girls sleep separately at either Meadowlands or Forest Ridge Cabins.
Meadowlands
8 Cabins sleep up to 14 campers and 2 counselors each.
Forest Ridge
8 Cabins sleep up to 14 campers and 2 counselors each.
The daily schedule gives cabinmates time to connect with counselors and each other as a fundamental part of the camp experience. During their free time, they can play games, socialize, or enjoy some alone time.
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.
