Springhill consists of 50 wooded acres reminiscent of the Texas Hill Country, complete with a limestone-lined, spring-fed creek flowing through the woods and large ponds surrounded by beautiful native trees and foliage. Springhill offers recreational activities to suit most any guest. Hiking, volleyball and Frisbee golf are just a few of the outdoor activities.

The James M. Wilcox Jr. Lodge is a popular, overnight facility that has provided years of enjoyment for groups of all kinds, has a bunk capacity of 8, and plenty of room for more sleeping bags. The main hall, a rustic, 30-by 50-foot, open-beamed facility, includes an oversized wood-burning fireplace, TV/VCR, and both piano and organ for musical enjoyment. Also located in the Lodge are two restrooms, each with double showers. A warming kitchen and informal seating for 30 - 40 round out the Lodge's amenities.
Indoor use of the Lodge is limited to 40 people. Picnics are limited to 60 people, although exceptions may be granted by the Board.
The James M. Wilcox III Memorial Chapel sits just north of the Lodge and is the perfect setting for intimate worship services. The Chapel seats up to 65, but informal outdoor seating can be added by opening the large side doors.
