Volunteering at SpringHill Camps
When your group comes to serve, we'll provide meals and housing, and work with our hosts to provide your group with an activity while you're here. Donations appreciated, but never expected.
In general, if bringing a volunteer group of students under the age of 18, we request a leader-to-student ratio of 1:7.
Contact Barb Feavel at 231.674.4454 or bfeavel@springhillcamps.com to find out more information or get your dates reserved on the calendar!
