What's Happening At Camp?

January 2022

All the happenings at your favorite (we hope!) COB camp and conference center.

SAVE THE DATE FOR SPRING CLEANUP

The annual spring cleanup weekend will be held April 29-30, 2022. Much help is needed to get the camp ready for expanded summer camps this year. We will be tackling a number of projects in the cabin circle, main area of camp, and trails to prepare for the growing numbers of campers expected this summer. Bring work boots, gloves and a smile; meals, fellowship and housing will be provided. RSVP to Ben Allshouse at 330 621-4574 or benallshouse@inspirationhillscamp.org. All ages and skill levels welcome, youth under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN AND MAKE SNOWSHOES?

Expanded to include 6th graders! Campers in Grades 3-6 will be gathering January 21-23, 2022, for all the fun of summer camp with a frosty twist! Learn why we have a trail called "Toboggan Hill", build snowmen, enjoy group games, worship with your friends, and drink plenty of hot chocolate. Registration forms available at www.inspirationhillscamp.org

YOUTH LEADERSHIP RETREATS

Have you felt God calling you to do bigger things with your life? Tired of being a spectator at church and in school? All teens 14 and up are invited to explore what it means to lead and serve in the places that you live, worship and work. Join us for the next retreat February 18-19, 2022, to explore how to identify and use your unique gifts and talents to lead others. This is retreat is a prerequisite for those under 18 who would like to serve during summer camp 2022. Registration information will be available at www.inspirationhillscamp.org

WELCOME NEW STAFF!

As we expand the ministry we are adding some much needed help. We welcomed Hanna Warnick (Eastwood COB) to the team in October. Hanna has been a camper and CIT at Inspiration Hills and served at Camp IHC in Pennsylvania last year as waterfront instructor and counselor. Hanna will be serving in several areas of the camp including maintenance, housekeeping, programming and food services.

On January 1st we welcomed Chris Kaake back to the IH team. Chris previously served as our Program Director prior to her BVS service in Northern Ireland as project manager and her work at Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland as Program Manager, Advocacy and Engagement. Chris will be serving at camp as director of program and operations while assisting in all other areas of camp as needed.

The Giving Tree Project

Our giving tree continues to provide some much needed extra funding as we navigate and recover from the pandemic and was featured in "Insight" magazine a publication of the Christian Camp and Conference Association. We are thankful for all of you who support this ministry, we would not still be here without you!

In Loving Memory

East Nimishillen Church of the Brethren donated a bench in honor of Jared & Eirelye Zuercher who went home to be with Christ last year. This spring the bench will be permanently placed on the shores of our lake in everyone's favorite fishing spot. Additional donations funded the purchase of sledding helmets to be used at camp during the winter months.
