Spring Hill is an interdenominational Christ-centered camping ministry that seeks to impact the lives of children and teens. We create places and communities in which children are valued not because they can perform academically or athletically, or because of their appearance or talent or skills, but because they are unique individuals created in the image of God.
Our creative and exciting programs offer opportunities to build self esteem and learn a myriad of skills. Our outstanding professional staff of college students build genuine relationships with each child. More than role models, they provide the safe relational context that enables a child to make new resolves and commitments. Distinctive housing units include tepees, a fort, covered wagons, cabooses, and even an old cargo airplane. The 720 acre facility includes beautiful lakes and ponds, wooded hills and ample playing fields. High adventure areas, an indoor pool, and other recreational facilities make Spring Hill one of the premier youth camping sites in the country!
