Lake Retreat's programs and guests include individuals, families and churches as well as organizations ranging from non-profit Christian groups to public schools. Over 15,000 individuals from infants to retired seniors enjoy the many events and programs which we sponsor and host during the year.

As a Christ-centered camp we strive in every way to exalt and glorify our God and Savior Jesus Christ. Our passion is that every camper or guest will see in our attitudes, actions and the awesome beauty around them, the Creator who made them and gave Himself in the form of His Son to die for their sins and make the way for eternal life. This is not a mission we take lightly, but sincerely and with effort. In our humanness we may fail, but we hope that in humility relationships will remain whole and our testimony fresh as we demonstrate the love that God has shown to all mankind in His Son.



The primary focus of our yearly programs is to reach the young of every new generation with the good news of Jesus Christ and His gift of salvation. We strive to help each camper grasp God's love for them and His life pathways as given in the Bible. Through interaction with staff, guest speakers, games, activities and personal quiet times, the ministry and beautiful surroundings of Lake Retreat draw campers to reflect on their eternal and earthly relationships. We strive to make every young campers experience with Lake Retreat one which changes their lives for the better and leaves with them with a joyful memory that never fades.

Every year, hundreds of people come to Lake Retreat with broken lives and hurting hearts.Guest Familygroups who use our grounds and the programs we sponser interact with these lives to bring new insights, support, encouragement and healing. Retreats and camps move individuals out of the hectic race of life and into a different environment which can cause them to see life and circumstances in fresh ways. This different environment usually includes a quiet time, moments for reflection and interaction with caring people who can "be there" when pain bubbles to the surface. Lives change when people get away to places like Lake Retreat and we consider it our mission to touch every hurting heart in some way, even it's only through an overdue rest.
