A summer vacation here is more than just a trip to the beach. It’s a “Vacation with Purpose” - a chance to grow and be refreshed in your Christian faith in a beautiful lakeside setting. Each week kicks off with a fun and encouraging free concert by a well-known musical group on Saturday night. For the rest of the week, adults can learn from respected Bible teachers and mission representatives. Kids and teens enjoy fun, age-appropriate programming during the morning and evening - also giving them opportunities to grow in their faith.
We have many accommodations to meet your needs and budget. Between our beautiful lodge, cozy cottages, spacious apartments and luxury condos on Lake Michigan, you will be sure to find comfort and rest during your stay with us!
