Worship, play and be renewed. Recreational activities include rifle and trap shooting, archery, mountain biking, horseback riding, horseshoes, golf, floor hockey, paintball, zip lines, high ropes course, boating and more.

Grab some friends (or fly solo) and join us in the north woods at Trout Lake Camps. Step outside of the norm for a chance to dig deeper into your faith, connect with other guys and have a lot of fun. Breathe in the fresh air and see what God can do in just 40 hours. That scent in the air? Rest, renewal, rejuvenation (and grilled meat). More than a change of scenery, it's a change of spirit. 

The cost ranges between $135-$160 depending on housing.
