About Us
Christ in the Center. Kids at the Heart. Fun for All.Our Story
The camp was established in 1954 on an eighty-acre tract of land donated by the Harold Nebel family of High Hill. The camp was originally established by fifteen churches in eastern Missouri due to overcrowding at other Missouri camps. The desire was to not only have needed space, but to have a camp that was easily accessible to area churches. In our first summer, we hosted 105 campers and 20 volunteer faculty in tents.
The camp now has a large dining/meeting lodge, a retreat center (with another under construction), three log cabins, a dorm, various outdoor meeting areas, a pool, lake, and other recreation activities, and is constructing a multi-purpose building.
We are currently serving around 50 member churches and host over 1,000 campers and an additional 200 volunteer faculty every summer. Additionally, the camp has become a facility that can be used year-round for retreats and rentals.
God is using High Hill as a place of fellowship in nature for many people every year.
