CHECK OUT WHAT’S NEW

What to Know about Summer 2025

  • Choose Your Commitment – One Term or Full Summer

    We will be doing term options again for summer 2025. Each term is five (5) weeks long, and the full summer is ten (10) weeks long.

    Summer Leaders are asked to commit to at least one term, minimum. (Returning Summer Leaders who have availability less than one term are welcome to apply.)

    For summer of 2025, we will have ONE overnight team! This means that our ONE overnight team will all train together and serve together all summer long. If you serve next summer as an overnight counselor, extra support counselor, lead counselor, media or medical staff, the first term will be at our Indiana Overnight Property June 1- June 27th. Then the ONE overnight team will all serve together at our Michigan Overnight property for July 7- August 4!

    If you serve in summer of 2025 as an activity specialist or in our guest service department you will be connected to a property for the whole summer if you choose to serve both terms. One term would be serving alongside of the Springhill summer camp team and one term would be serving guest group partners.

    Whether you are working one term or the full summer, you’ll be able to request one (1) week off!

  • Required Training

    All Summer Leaders will be required to participate in onsite training from 5/23-5/30. On site training for leadership roles will be 5/16-5/30 and specialty roles is 5/17-5/30

There are so many jobs to choose from at SpringHill. From being a counselor to a lifeguard, there’s a role for just about everybody at SpringHill.

But the most common question we get is,
“What’s the difference between Overnight Camp and Day Camp?”
