COMMITTED TO IMPACTING KIDS FOR CHRIST


Michael Perry, President 18th summer with SpringHill

The most essential part of SpringHill, the thing that excites and motivates us most, is the idea that we get to be a part of sharing the truth and love of Jesus with young people. But it’s not only that —we get to present the gospel in a completely different way, a way that continues to inspire me summer after summer. As your family makes plans, it’s my prayer that you would put a spiritual growth experience on the calendar for your children. The gospel is and always will be the hope of our world, and the hope for our lives. We want every young person to have the opportunity to associate a ton of fun, memories, and meaning back to Jesus. I’d like to personally invite you, your family, and friends to join us for a SpringHill experience in 2016.”

It is one of the most professional, Christ-centered organizations I have ever experienced. Your kids will love it, and you will too!”– 2015 SpringHill parent
