Cedar Bay Camp and Retreat Center

Cedar Bay Camp and Retreat Center A place to meet God and be renewed. In beginning this new chapter, Cedar does not lose its history or its identity.

Cedar Bay Camp & Retreat Center provides opportunities to relax and connect with your family and each other through family camps, events, and retreats. First founded in 1954, Cedar Bay has an incredible history of vibrant ministry to families, college students, a variety of ministries and events to individuals and groups, with a genuine loving influence in the surrounding community. Forest Springs

is blessed to now steward Cedar Bay, formerly an InterVarsity training and retreat center called Cedar Campus. The new name, Cedar Bay, embraces the past while looking to the future. We believe adding "Bay" to Cedar captures its significance as "a place of refuge" - a common remark made by Cedar campers over the years. Facilities can also be rented out to guest groups to use for their own programming. Cedar Bay is 45 minutes northeast of the Mackinac Bridge. This is a great place to come away, meet God, and be renewed. For more information, please visit our website at www.CedarBay.us or call us at 906-484-2294.

This summer, our theme is "REVEALED: God making Himself known"

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim His handiwork. The Law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul." Psalm 19:1,7

Psalm 19 reveals to us that God is not hidden. From the very beginning, He has been revealing Himself; through what He has made and through what He has spoken.

Creation points us to His power, wisdom, and care. The rhythms of day and night, seasons of growth and rest, all reflect a God who is intentional and near. And through His Word, we come to know His heart, and His ways that lead not to restriction, but to life, joy, and true flourishing.

At Family Camp this summer, we’re setting aside time to slow down and pay attention. Through time outdoors and time in Scripture, we’ll explore how God is making Himself known, and how He is inviting us to walk with Him. Ultimately, Jesus is the fullest revelation of God, drawing us back into the life we were created for: one of listening, trusting, obeying, resting, and delighting in Him.

We are so excited to embrace this theme together with you this summer!

We have spots open in our Homeschool Family Camps, July 11–17 and August 8–14.

If you’re a homeschool family looking for more than just a getaway, this is a week designed with you in mind. Our Family Camps are built around Christ-centered worship, solid biblical teaching for every age, and space to step away from the noise of everyday life. It’s a place for meaningful conversations, unhurried time together, and shared experiences that help your family grow closer, to each other and to the Lord.

We’d love to have you join us this summer! Learn more by visiting cedarbay.us/familycamp
