Watch Video

A week on Shores is a week to remember! On the coast of Lake Michigan lively counselors walk alongside campers as we praise God, enjoy new friends, and embrace fun-filled activities. A day on Shores might include a competitive game of capture the flag, relaxing in the pool, bouncing on the jumping pillow, energizing songs and skits, enjoying a treat from the store, and finishing the day with a gooey s’more. This is sure to be the best week of the summer!
