We aspire to provide a premiere outdoor recreational/educational facility providing opportunities for people of special needs to enhance self-worth, attain independence, acquire social skills and  realize their full potential as human beings.  We are dedicated to working with the greater community and include them as a partner in addressing the needs of society.  We intend to provide an atmosphere that is wholesome, and encourages awareness and appreciation of our natural environment.



We are licensed by the State of Michigan to operate a summer camp.  Lions Bear Lake Camp is proud to be accredited by the American Camping Association.  Developed exclusively for the camp profession, this nationally-recognized program focuses on program quality, health and safety issues and requires us  to review every facet of our operation.  Bear Lake Camp has voluntarily submitted to this independent appraisal done by camp experts and has earned this mark of distinction.
