LEC

Our mission:

To use God’s creation and the truth of His word to create encounters with the Good News of Jesus Christ through a fun and enriching ministry that fosters faith and maturity through all phases of life. It is the primary goal of Lake Ellen to present Jesus Christ as the only hope for salvation. This goal permeates all activities.

Located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Lake Ellen is surrounded by breathtaking wilderness and serene landscapes. Lake Ellen has programs, speakers, and activities that will challenge you physically, mentally, and spiritually, all while being immersed in a fun and exciting environment!

We offer programs for people of all ages, from youth summer camps, to family camps, to men's and women’s, father/son, mother/daughter, and even scrapbooking retreats! Whatever your age, interest, or desire, Lake Ellen has something for you! We also offer camp rental through our Guest Group program, so you can bring out your youth group for a few days, have your church picnic, or even host your family reunion! We are more than willing to help accommodate the event you are planning!

“I hope you realize that Lake Ellen is changing lives. I’ve witnessed to one person already since I’ve been home and have made two of my friends even stronger Christians! I am loving it!”
