Fall Staff Retreat Underway

The full time staff here at Miracle Camp and Retreat Center just got back from a strategy planning retreat visiting other camps. The purpose of the trip was for team building and to get ideas for the future of Miracle Camp. We had a great time visiting The Springs Camp and Cran Hill Ranch both located in Northern Michigan.

Be looking for more information on day camps at Miracle Camp as this was one of the ideas that originated at this retreat. This will allow us to provide day camp care for parents in the Lawton, Schoolcraft and even Portage, Kalamazoo area here in Michigan.

Here's a couple pictures of our staff having a good time together. The picture above was taken at The Springs overlooking the river that runs through their property.

Hurricane Season Felt in Michigan

Our prayers are with those in Texas and on the gulf coast. We experienced a large amount of rain (9" at camp and up to 12" in the area) over the past 48 hours. We can't imagine how devastating the hurricane was to that area. Just that much rain in our area left things pretty flooded as the pictures show. This was after 24 hours of drying. We are excited to see the sun today!

Family Camps a Success! Memorial Day Family Camp Planned for Next Year!

The two family camps this year were a huge success! There were nearly 500 people who attended the two camps this year and there was a waiting list on each camp.

Due to the popular demand, we are opening a 3rd family camp next year over the Memorial Day Family Camp! Kick off your summer with your family at this great retreat! We are also considering an option for a week long family camp sometime in August or a winter family camp. If you have any other ideas for family oriented events please email jason@miraclecamp.com
