Inspiration Hills Camp and Retreat Center is located in Inwood, IA, and offers amazing programming year-round.
Summer Camp
Inspiration Hills hosts more than nine weeks of summer camp each year, offering a wide variety of experiences including Grand Camp, Day Camps, Fishing Camps, Horse Camps, and more. For children new to camp, Discovery Camp is the perfect introduction—a two-night experience that allows campers to enjoy the outdoors while sleeping comfortably indoors.
Campers enjoy a wide range of activities such as swimming, axe-throwing, archery tag, the challenge course, and more. One of the highlights of returning to camp each year is advancing through the Challenge Course. Younger campers participate in the Low Ropes Course, while older campers suit up with helmets and harnesses to climb 25 feet in the air or rappel down the rock and rope wall. Zip-lining from the tower often serves as the exciting grand finale to an afternoon of team-building and fun.
Interested in Summer Day Camp? Inspiration Hills offers bus pick-ups/drop-offs in several spots in and around Sioux Falls.
Retreats
Inspiration Hills also offers year-round retreats in two spacious lodges, providing plenty of room for groups or families to gather, prepare meals, or relax by the fire. During the summer months, the swimming pool offers a refreshing escape from the heat. Meal service is available, especially for groups of 50 or more.
Retreat options include events such as the Warrior Run 5K, Single Moms Retreat, Marriage and Parenting Retreat, and Digging Deeper, a day event focused on learning how to study the Bible. Many groups also reserve cabins, private rooms, or campsites for family gatherings, corporate retreats, silent retreats, and more.
Inspiration Hills provides a peaceful environment where individuals and groups can connect, grow, and be refreshed.
