A Time to Come Together

For 50 years, God's faithfulness has sustained Inspiration Hills Camp and Retreat Center! Throughout all those years, a lot has changed! Looking back at Inspiration Hills' history, we see how new buildings have come up on property, new technologies have updated the way camp reaches people, and growth in the size and scope of camp has increased its impact. In Celebration of God's everlasting faithfulness in the midst of all that history, we will be hosting a 50 Year Anniversary Celebration on August 8-10, 2025! Please join us as we praise God for blessing us with Inspiration Hills!

Thank You Diamond Sponsors
