About Cedar Lake Camp & Retreat Center

Cedar Lake is a year-round Christian camp and retreat center that has been in operation since the early 1940s. We offer multiple types of camps for kids ages 5-18, so there is definitely somewhere your child can get plugged in! While they are here, they will not only experience the joy of outdoor activities, but they will also learn how deeply God loves them and how He desires a personal relationship with them

Camp Overview

We offer many different types of camps throughout the year for varied age ranges. This includes of summer resident camp where campers are dropped off on Sunday nights and stay in cabins throughout the week. Secondly, our summer day camp offers younger campers the ability to experience the joys of camp without staying overnight. Instead, they are dropped off and picked up each day. Our week-long summer canoe camp for teens features primitive camping on Geiger Island at the beautiful Dale Hollow Lake. And finally, we have a Fall Break day camp and a Spring Break day camp during the school year.
