Scripture is clear that it is God, through Christ, who works to change the
lives of young people—not our programming or planning. That’s why every
experience we create is centered on God and His message of hope found in
Jesus. During their experience, whether at an overnight camp, day camp, or
retreat, kids are given time and encouraged to examine God’s plan for their
life through practical sharing and teachable moments throughout the day.
Inclusion is about participating and belonging;
therefore, we put forth every effort to make
SpringHill a place where every child is welcome
and has the chance to experience all that we have
to offer. We want your child to have a fulfi lling
SpringHill experience and we are fully prepared to
provide specially trained staff, transportation, and
specifi c housing to accommodate their needs.

heart-felt worship with the band to getting
crazy at our infamous Crud Wars, the

Michael Perry, President
17th summer with SpringHill
It is such a joy to be a part of this ministry—to see God
use SpringHill to change lives. As a parent, I understand
that sending a child away to an overnight camp can
be a big step and requires a huge amount of trust. I
am confident parents won’t be disappointed once they
meet our staff and see the many steps we’ve taken to
make their kid's safety a priority while providing them
an amazing experience. I'm looking forward to another
great year!”
I feel so privileged to be a part of another year here at
SpringHill. There is great excitement and passion among
our staff and it truly is contagious. We are passionate
about faith, fun, families, and kids. Our staff is trained
and prepared to have Christ-centered conversations no
matter where a camper is in their faith journey. SpringHill
programs are designed to give multiple opportunities for
growth. Our commitment to safety sets us apart and our
activities are nothing short of awesome. I hope to see
you at a SpringHill event this year!”
Andy Hust, Michigan Camp Director
14th summer with SpringHill | 5 years
as a camper parent
Carey Edgren, Indiana Camp Director
13th summer with SpringHill
As I begin my 17th year at SpringHill, I can
truly say that I’ve never been more excited
about the experience we offer, the staff
we hire, and the intentionality behind our
programming as I am today. SpringHill is
more than just a camp—It’s a chance to be
a part of the ongoing spiritual and personal
development of young people. It’s a chance
to come alongside families and churches.
It’s a chance to continue to experience
Jesus’ message of grace, hope, and love.
So, let me extend a personal invitation to
you, your family, and friends to come join us
for a SpringHill experience this year.”
