There’s something sacred about stepping away from the noise. In the quiet of nature, surrounded by the pristine water, woods, and sky of Northern Michigan, we are better able to hear the still, small voice of God and remember who we are. Retreats offer space for that remembering. They open our hearts, calm our bodies, and reconnect us to the Divine, to one another, and to ourselves.
At Camp Chickagami, retreat season is a time of renewal. Whether you’re looking for quiet contemplation, creative connection, or meaningful conversation, there’s space for you here. Regardless of your background, beliefs, or experience, you are welcome here. You’re invited to come as you are and be gently greeted by and belong in community, creation, and the presence of God.
