Summer Family Camps

At Cedar Bay, you will be welcomed by staff awaiting your arrival and receive your housing assignments at our main office. Our friendly staff is there to help you check in, answer any questions, and assist you in finding your housing. It is our aim to make you feel at home as quickly as possible!

A typical day at family camp can be as busy or relaxing as you would like to make it. It's your choice! Families can choose to participate in whatever they choose. There is no pressure! With that said, we would love for you to at least participate in Bible teaching sessions and kids classes. We believe you will benefit a great deal from having attended.

Please note: camp schedules are subject to change.

Enjoy delicious home-cooked meals offered all-you-can-eat buffet-style.

We are happy to accommodate special dietary needs. Please notify the registrar no later than one week prior to your family camp if special dietary needs are required.

During adult Bible sessions, we provide a nursery for children 0-2 and age-appropriate Bible classes for children 3-17. Each class is led by our trained Program Crew, ready to provide solid Biblical teaching to your child.

Summer recreational activities include hiking, swimming, canoeing, sailing, fishing, biking, and more! Our property offers 6 miles of shoreline along Lake Huron to explore, and several scenic nature trails to hike. Explore the famous Narnia Trail which sits just a short hike through the woods.

Our waterfront  is staffed by our Recreational Crew and open during most free-time periods for swimming, boating, and sandcastle building.

Campers may enjoy playing basketball or pickleball on our well-maintained and secluded courts.

Throughout the week, our staff run guided activities for sign-up in the afternoons and evenings, like pontoon boat rides, kayak devotionals, tie dye, sandcastle building contests, bird-watching hikes, and a wood-fired sauna! (subject to change year-to-year)

We also have a coffee shop, and snack-shack (with offerings such as candy, chips, soda, and ice cream), and gift shop that are open throughout each afternoon. 

Cedar Bay offers an array of lodging to summer family campers. Guests can choose from our lodge rooms, cabins, or RV/campsites. Learn more about our housing options below.

Each family camp is comprised of 10-25 families. Families come in all ages and sizes.

We welcome young families beginning their family camp traditions, blended families seeking to strengthen their bonds, and empty nesters who join us to enjoy family camp with or without their children and grandchildren.

When it comes down to it, we are passionate about seeing families spend time together - to grow in their relationships together and with the Lord.

Cedar Bay is situated within the majestic shoreline of Lake Huron. In this natural environment, we have several trails and activity areas that allow our family campers to learn and have fun in God's perfect creation.

Our lodging options range from RV sites to our lodge rooms, depending on the preferences of our family campers. Our modern facilities ensure that campers are comfortable and well cared for by our well-trained, mission-driven staff. We work hard to ensure we provide the comforts of modern amenities, complemented by the natural beauty of the shoreline.

Family camp at Cedar Bay is casual and relaxed. We encourage families to be themselves, have fun, and create a lot of memories!

We have a total of nine summer family camps and one Bible conference for both adults and families called Great God of Wonders. All of these 6-day camps start on a Saturday and end on a Friday between Mid-June to mid-August. For specifics about each camp, please check out the events page.

We work diligently to ensure that our family camps are competitive with (or even less expensive than) family vacations that include lodging, food, etc. Click here to see up-to-date information and pricing for family camps.
