About

Life-changing summer camps for children and youth.  State-of-the-art retreat facilities for adults.  Spiritual growth events for youth, adults and families.  A Christian RV park for adults and families.  Camps and retreats for persons with special needs.  All designed to invite our campers and guests to step back from the world for a few days to learn, renew and recharge. To prepare you to return to your communities and churches better prepared to make disciples for Jesus Christ, for the transformation of the world.

Our sites and programs are accredited by national organizations like the American Camp Association, the International Association of Conference Center Administrators, and the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds.  We meet state and national standards that help us provide the best experiences possible to our campers and guests.  Our professional site directors are members of these organizations and receive annual training to update and improve their knowledge and skills.

Camp Kinawind, Judson Collins Center, Lake Huron Retreat Center, and Myers Lake Campground are owned and operated by the Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries, Inc.  We receive significant financial support from the Detroit Conference of The United Methodist Church.  Our quest is to support the mission of the Conference to create and nurture dynamic and fruitful congregations who make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

We invite you to explore this site, learn about our ministries, and to take part in one of the many camp or retreat opportunities that we offer.  Let us know how we may be of service to you!
