These six ingredients make the SpringHIll Way unique.
God immersed
We believe that God through Christ works to change the lives of young people, not programming or planning.
Embracing
We welcome all, regardless of where an individual is at spiritually, emotionally, physically, or socio-economically.
Innovative
We specifically design our programs and facilities to be creative, relevant, and fun and to provide challenging experiences that kids typically do not have at home.
Integrated
We make no distinction between faith and fun to help kids discover spiritual truth inside everyday experiences.
People
We bring together inspired and trained staff, professionals, and volunteers who fulfill our mission and vision in alignment with our core values.
Community focused
Everything at SpringHill happens within small communities that facilitate and enhance relationships.
What makes SpringHill different
Staff selection
We have hired the most amazing and caring staff who are spiritually, mentally, and emotionally mature to ensure that your child is not only in good hands, but in good hearts.
Each staff member has been personally interviewed, reference checked, and background checked before they ever interact with anyone.
Staff receives 40-80 hours of intensive job specific training so that every aspect of camp is safely and efficiently run.
To assure the best experience at camp, we keep our overnight camper to counselor ratio at 7:1, and even lower for younger kids at 5:1.
