About Camp Westminster Higgins Lake
At Camp Westminster we provide a safe, Christian environment where campers can explore, discover, and even make mistakes.
At Camp Westminster on Higgins Lake, we believe in the power of nature to shape and strengthen young hearts and minds. Our rustic camp and year-round retreat center in northern Michigan provide a unique opportunity to unplug, explore, and learn in a safe and nurturing environment. We strive to create an atmosphere of joy and self-discovery, and we hire a diverse and fun staff who are committed to each camper's development and spiritual formation.
At Camp Westminster, we are also passionate about earth care. We use the "Leave No Trace" ethic at the camp and on all of our outdoor excursions, teaching our campers the importance of sustainability and respect for our planet. We help foster independence, resilience, and life skills, while also providing a Christ-centered atmosphere where campers can grow in their faith.
We believe that Camp Westminster gives young people the chance to make lasting memories and build long-lasting relationships that will stay with them for many years to come. We strive to create an experience for campers that is both fun and challenging, allowing them to be themselves and learn in a supportive and encouraging setting.
Programs
The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.
Discovery – Elementary
Our elementary-age campers get a pretty activity-driven experience. We keep things moving by using intentional fun as a teaching tool. There is space for downtime as well, but we try to do everything purposefully. Discovery campers will all get the chance to do arts & crafts, sports & games, and our nature program. They will get to choose from some of their activities as well. Counselors will lead a group decision-making process, an excellent opportunity for campers to learn about negotiation and compromise. You can find a partial list of activities here.
Adventure – Middle School
Adventure campers are already in the midst of middle school’s wild adventure. For many, this means they are starting to explore who they are and who they want to become. We use this week to explore what it means to live in community and think about who God has called us to be. This is not a time for answering, but rather engaging, big questions about God and community. For some campers, this is a chance to shed the expectations of their friends back home and try on a new way of being.
Challenge – High School
Challenge campers often come to us already exploring who they are growing into and with questions about how they fit in the world around them. These campers are ready for a challenge that runs deeper than simple skill-building. We ask high school campers to look at what they want to get out of their time at Camp Westminster and then plan with them to make that happen. For some, this may mean exploring what it means to be a leader. It may mean digging into their faith in a new way for others. Sometimes it may just mean a restorative week at camp where they get a chance to play.
