60 Years of Songs, S'mores, and Sacred Moments.

If these logs could talk, they’d tell stories of 60 years of laughter, off-key singing, and the quiet crackle of hearts "Going Deeper" with God.

Since 1966, the campfire has been the heart of Inspiration Hills. While the benches might be newer and the songs might have changed, the Spirit that meets us in the glow of the fire remains the same. Whether you were here in the 70s or are joining us this summer in Burbank, you are part of this flickering legacy.

As we look toward the next 60 years, we are Reaching Out to ensure every child has a seat at this fire. Your support toward our $60,000 for 60 Years goal keeps the "set-apart" mission of Inspiration Hills burning bright.

The Campfire Challenge: Can you remember your favorite camp song? Is it "Pharaoh, Pharaoh," "Father Abraham," or something a little more "Going Deeper"? Type a lyric in the comments!

Before the Lodges, there were the Tents.

In the 1960s and 1970s, "going deeper" meant something a little different at Inspiration Hills. It meant sleeping under canvas, navigating the Ohio dew, and—for the lucky ones—the iconic A-frame cabins.

Those early summers in Burbank weren't built on central air or heated floors, but on a shared mission to create a set-apart place in nature. Whether you were swatting mosquitoes in a tent or sleeping in a rustic A-frame, you were part of the foundation that has supported 60 years of ministry.

As we celebrate our 60th Anniversary, we’re honoring that grit by raising $60,000 for 60 Years. We want to ensure that whether a camper is in a tent or a dorm, they find the same connection to God that those 1966 pioneers did.

The Big Question: Who here remembers the "A-Frames"? Or were you part of the "Canvas Crew" in the early days? Tell us your most "rugged" camp memory below!

Taking Inspiration Hills to a Whole New Altitude!

Same mission. Different terrain.

New this year, we are heading south! Mountain Adventure is our brand-new travel camp experience for Grades 6-12. We’re trading the Ohio trails for the summits of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Linville, North Carolina.

This isn't just a trip; it’s a community. We’re partnering with five other camps across the region to gather a "travel crew" for a week of high-adventure exploration, deep worship, and memories that only happen at 4,000 feet.

FINAL COUNTDOWN: 5 DAYS LEFT!
This is our premier high-adventure trip. Secure the Early Bird rate of $400 by registering before April 15th!

All of the Memories. None of the "Are we there yet?"

Let’s be honest: taking a 5-year-old on a "spiritual retreat" usually ends with you doing all the packing, all the cooking, and all the worrying. Bring Your Big is different.

We handle the meals, the schedule, and the "Next-Level" fun so you can focus on what actually matters: connecting with your Little and "Going Deeper" in God's Word together.

WHO CAN BE A "BIG"?
A "Big" is any adult (18+) ready to supervise their camper. Whether you are a Parent, Grandparent, Aunt, Uncle, or Mentor, this is your chance to unplug and participate side-by-side in canoeing, crafts, and campfire worship.

The Details:
-Who: Adults 18+ & Campers ages 3-8
-When: Sunday July 12th 6:00pm – Wednesday July 15th 4:00pm
-Early Bird Price: $225 (Register by April 15th—only 6 days left!)
-Standard Price: $250 (After April 15th)

Give them the gift of quality time. Give yourself the gift of a stress-free adventure.

Headline: Adventure for Them. Peace of Mind for You.

Is your child in Grades 1-3 ready for the magic of summer camp... but maybe you aren’t? Beginners Camp offers the ideal first-time experience with two amazing ways to stay.

The Traditional Way: Drop your camper off! They will learn independence and make new friends in a fully supervised, counselor-led environment.

The Parent Option: Not quite ready to let go? Register for the concurrent Beginners Parents Camp! You can stay on campus in separate lodging, joining your child for meals and campfires, while giving them space to grow during the day.

This is where they get to explore our 60th Anniversary theme, 'Going Deeper & Reaching Out,' through age-appropriate lessons. Our goal is for every beginner to leave saying, 'I can't wait to come back next year!'

URGENCY ALERT: 7 DAYS LEFT!
Register this week to claim the early bird rate and save $25. This discount expires next Wednesday, April 15th!

The Details:
-Who: Grades 1-3 (Min. age 6)
-When: Sunday June 28th 6:00pm – Wednesday July 1st 4:00pm
-Early Bird: $225 (Register by April 15th!)
-Standard: $250 (After April 15th)
