what are SpringHill Summer Camps?

Our summer camper program is for kids in 1st-12th grade. We group campers into elementary, junior high and high school and provide them with a unique program that is age-appropriate and relevant to the camper's place in life. We also have a "decentralized" focus. This means that much of our programming and relationship building is in the context of small groups. In addition, the campers enjoy activities, campfires, games and meals right alongside their counselors.

Running our summer camp program requires a wide variety of summer positions that are filled by 700 summer staff. All positions are compensated with a weekly, salaried rate with all housing and food costs covered.
