We want s'more summer but we're feeling all the warm fuzzies thinking about the campfires we enjoyed with all of you!

Help us settle this debate: what's the best level of toastiness for a marshmallow? Lightly toasted, roasted, or burned to a crisp? 🪵🔥🍫

Hi everyone! 👋 Did you miss us?!

We had the BEST time with you all at camp this year! ☀💕

The summer always flies by so quickly, but we made sure to capture lots of fun memories along the way! 📸 If you haven't already, make sure to check out our Flickr account to view your cabin photos and see pictures from your session.

Keep your eyes on our socials all year long as we share our favorite pics from Summer 2025!

Head’s Up! We’ll be a bit quieter on social media throughout the summer.

📸 For safety and privacy reasons, we do not post any photos to social media of campers who are currently in session. But rest assured, we take LOTS of photos each session to document daily camp life and all the memories we’re creating. We’ll share these photos with you directly in the weeks following your session so that you can relive the fun!

Parents and Families: we know you might be curious how your camper is doing and may want to see how they’re spending their days! 🎭 🛶🏕✨🎣🏓 Our staff is just a call or text away and we’re always happy to provide updates! We can be reached at 231-299-0005.

Please note that we take special care to not share photos of campers who have “opted out” of photography. If you have questions or special requests about your camper and you have not already noted your opt-out preference in your campers’ registration paperwork, please call us to discuss.

Happy summer, everyone!

If you could create your very own board game, what would it be called? How would you play? What would the rules be! ♟️🎲 At camp, we love tapping into our imaginations to create all kinds of new games, whether they’re board games, puzzles, running around games, or something else entirely! All you have to do is bring you big ideas!
