Hey Friends,
We only have 25 more days before we open! We cannot wait to see everyone soon. We have been very busy cleaning and making updates to the campground for everyone to enjoy in the 2019 camping season.
We still have a few seasonal dock spaces available. Call to reserve one before they are all gone!
We'd love to hear your reminiscences from family camp. What are the moments that touch your heart when you think back (or anticipate the coming camping season)?
Michigan Area United Methodist Camping
"There is balm in the sunsets. There is rest in pulling our chairs out into the shallow waters and letting the lake lap over us while we read and talk and soak up the sun. There is joy in the singing at fire bowl. Convivial warmth in the shared meals and trivia games and walks along the trails. There are old friends and new friends and reconnections."
We camped as a family, with many other families, every year for many years. Starting with Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. And a LOT of time in between! We always had the same campsite with three-four families who were all close friends. We would stay up there for a few weeks at a time, with the men taking turns being the “Dad” while the others had to return to work at their homes. Big bonfires every night at the lakefront with songs and fellowship and many nights sleeping in tents with best friends. That campground has a LOT of my childhood summer memories! Now a cabin might be more my style, but I’d love to get back to camp for a while and enjoy the sounds of my youth again!
