Last year I had my first banana boat. Maybe this year I’ll try campfire strawberries.... Who has tried this?

This year we have a limited number of toddler t’s in our camp store. Look how adorable our new ”Lake Michigan Camp & Retreat -one of God’s special places” fish shirt is. Yes, our little model is adorable too!

Meet our youth camp Life Guard Josh Hall. Josh grew up attending Wesley Woods but has been an active part of the summer youth programs at Lake Michigan Camp & Retreat for the past ten years. Josh will be returning this year as our Life Guard and he is pondering a Life Guard riddle: What did the pool say the lake? Youth Campers help Josh out by solving his riddle. Parents your kids are going to have a blast at the Lake under the watchful eyes of Josh! Youth camps check in start in 15 days!

What a week we had at Lake Michigan Camp and Retreat. We started with Memorial Day celebrations and went right into our First Annual state wide Home School Camp with over 60 participants. We love our new Home School Camp friends and can’t wait for you to return!

Look what’s new at our camp store - a limited edition of “Sleeping Under the Stars” coloring PILLOWCASES! Sweet Dreams are made at Lake Michigan Camp & Retreat.

This past week marked many milestones at Lake Michigan Camp & Retreat: four new cabins were slept in for the first time, a new RV dumping station was opened, we surprised two families with upgraded platform tents, had a concert, hosted 6 groups ( Community UMC Muskegon, Comstock Group, Trinity UMC, Okemos UMC, House of Prayer, Boy Scout Troop #763) and dozens of individual families totaling over 400 guest AND somehow we raised $5,000 towards the new pole barn. It has been exciting! But in our excitement today, we want to take moment to pause and remember those men and women who died while serving this great Country that we get to live in! We are blessed because of the sacrifice of others! Happy Memorial Day!
