Spring Workdays

Do you have a passion for service and like to work with your hands? Join us on May 7^th and 14^th at 8 AM for our annual spring workdays!

There are a wide variety of projects for all ages and skill levels to get our facilities ready for our summer camp programs. Lunch will also be provided for those who stay.

Ropes Course Training

We will be hosting a Ropes Course Training on April 28^th at 4:30 PM for anyone who wants to refresh their memory or become a first-time trainee.

Building Update

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated toward our 75th Diamond Anniversary Campaign to replace our existing Cabins with a new Children’s Lodge. Our goal for August 2022 was to reach $200,000. We are excited to announce that we have already exceeded that goal! We are continuing to look for one-time and monthly donors to help improve our facilities to impact the next generation of Christian campers. If you would like to become a part of the Sylvan Hills community, please visit SylvanHills.org/75th to donate!

We are also excited to announce that we will be timbering off our land in an effort to save our trees from the gypsy moths and to help fund our building project. We will be receiving over $190,000 that will go directly to our upcoming Children’s Lodge. The process will begin between now and our summer camp season. We will see some cosmetic changes as trees are being timbered, but they will be minor and will not affect our summer camp season.
