Crystal Springs Camp & Retreat Center - April 14 Hey...
Welcome to Crystal Springs Camp & Retreat Center
For more than 150 years, people have gathered at Crystal Springs Camp & Retreat Center to be surrounded by God’s beauty along the Dowagiac River in Dowagiac, Michigan. A place with a deep history, guests are immersed in God’s creation through Crystal Springs’ large trees, park-like atmosphere, flowing river and natural springs. Experience God’s presence and explore and enrich your relationship with the Creator in a quaint, comfortable setting. Home to summer camps for elementary through high school ages and available for private retreats, meetings, weddings and parties.
Your Choice for a Picturesque Retreat
Crystal Springs is the perfect place in southwest Michigan for creating and strengthening your connection to Christ through energetic worship, relevant Bible study, and extraordinary programs. You’ll make friends and have a great time with your favorite camp activities like swimming, archery, canoeing, basketball, soccer, sand volleyball, and more. Plus, Crystal Springs offers river tubing, floor hockey, target paintball, Zorbs, nine-square-in-the-air, gaga ball, and racing pedal karts!
