Lakeshore Interlude invites seniors (65 years +) back to camp....
Lake Huron Retreat Center — your peaceful antidote to today’s busy lifestyle. On the “sunrise” side of the “mitten” state, you’ll wake up to expansive views of Lake Huron. Located just north of Port Huron, Michigan, Lake Huron Retreat Center is a full-service adult retreat center dedicated to Christian hospitality connected with the United Methodist Church. You’ll find its popular meeting rooms, chapel, dining hall and guest rooms are comfortable and modern. It has been a place for spiritual renewal and family time for 75 years.
Plan your next day meeting or overnight experiences with ease and confidence knowing our reputation for excellent food service, clean and comfortable guest rooms and a beautiful campus. In 2017 the “At the Water’s Edge” guest cottage opened for clergy and laity to book personal escapes for spiritual rest and relaxation. Call us or come visit to see how Lake Huron Retreat Center can host your faith-based organization, school or not-for-profit.
Adults with special needs enjoy a four-night experience filled with Bible stories, crafts, music, outdoor recreation, swimming and special evening activities. 2022 Theme Nights include Sports Night, Hawaiian Night and Super Hero Night. A committed staff of volunteers, including two nurses, are on site 24/7. Cost includes a camp t-shirt. Check in 9 am Tuesday. Check Out 11 am Saturday.
First responders have worked tirelessly these last two years in an unprecedented time in our country, and we are grateful. We know you’re tired. Your souls need a time of rest and renewal.
Rest for the Healers are two affordable opportunities this summer for first responders to come to the lakeshore for a time of solitude and healing. Spend time walking our prayer stations and outdoor labyrinth. Enjoy a sunrise on the beach in one of our Adirondack chairs. Relax while we prepare good food for you. Bring a good book and breathe in the fresh air.
Rest for the Healers is designed for first responders, such as firefighters, law enforcement personnel, medical personnel, utility workers and public health professionals.
Cost: $60 per person (single occupancy). This very special rate is thanks, in part, to financial support from the Michigan Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.
