Celebrating God's Goodness This Fall

Happy Fall from Inspiration Hills!  

The leaves are starting to turn, and camp is alive with the beauty of the season. As we welcome this new chapter, our days are filled with retreats, events, and opportunities to gather together in God’s creation. Fall is always a busy time at camp, but it’s also a season to slow down, enjoy the crisp air, and reflect on God’s goodness. We’re so thankful to share this journey with you!

Summer Camp 2026

What a summer!  We were blessed to welcome 1,297 summer camp registrants to Inspiration Hills for a season filled with adventure, friendships, and growth in faith. Together, campers dug into our theme, “Not of This World,” based on John 17:16, learning what it means to follow Christ and live differently in the world around us. We are so thankful for everyone who made Summer 2026 one to remember!

Warrior Run 2026

Our annual Warrior Run was a great success! We welcomed 100 runners for the 5K and 53 participants for the 1-Mile Run, raising an incredible $6,470 for camper scholarships! A huge thank you to everyone who ran, volunteered, sponsored, and helped make this event possible. Your support helps make camp experiences possible for even more kids!
