Community

Heavenly Hills is not defined by our physical location but by the loving bond shared in our community. Meet some of our family--our attentive Heavenly Hills Staff, our dedicated Supporting Churches, and our current Summer Staff.

A little about our Camp Directors

Seth and Mary Beth Sponsler have been in full time ministry together since 1995. They have served as youth pastors, associate pastors, and have provided pastoral care to missionaries and leaders through Bending the Bow International, a ministry they founded in 2008. Mary Beth is a Registered Nurse and Seth was formerly a High School Teacher, Athletic Director & Coach, as well as a pastor. They have three children living in California: Josiah, Jonathan, and Hannah. Joshua, their oldest, is married to Madison; they live in Texas where they are attending Bible College. Seth and Mary Beth were raised in Tuolumne County and are passionate about helping others encounter Jesus and grow in their relationship with him.

A little about our Camp Managers

Jamison and Hannah Glazebrook are native Oregonians who were born in the same city, by the same doctor, and even went to the same summer camp, but did not meet until their college years at Boise Bible College. They graduated in 2016 and afterward gained experience in youth ministry, adventure expeditions, and youth counseling. They love exploring the outdoors with their two dogs Denali and Juneau. Jack joined the little family on June 14th, 2019 and Rose joined up two years later on May 30th, 2021. They are both looking forward to exploring their own 40-Acre Wood at Heavenly Hills. The Glazebrooks are passionate about investing in people's lives, especially youth, in order to encourage, equip, and care for them in their present and for their future.

Summer Staff 2023

The Summer season is just around the corner! Heavenly Hills is looking for hard-working, adventurous 15-23 year olds to join our 2023 Summer Staff!

As part of our Summer Staff team you will serve Jesus and His Church in the everyday upkeep of the camp's grounds, housekeeping, and kitchen. You will also be given opportunities of ministry in both teaching and leading various groups.

You will experience close community as you work and live alongside your fellow Summer Staff on the Heavenly Hills campus. Gender-specific Staff Cabins are equipped with a bed, desk and dresser for each staff member. Regular adventures and fun-outings will help you recharge on your much-deserved days off.
