Little Grassy Camp

Little Grassy Camp Connecting People, Nature, and Christ There are other retreat lodges and cabins most of which are climate-controlled.

Little Grassy Camp is located south of Carbondale, IL, on 190 acres of hills and trees, adjacent to the 1,000-acre Little Grassy Lake. The property nestles up against the Shawnee National Forest and is bound by a covenant with the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge to exercise careful stewardship of the wildlife, vegetation, and land forms. The core of Little Grassy Camp, built on a ridge overl

ooking the lake, includes a hotel-style lodge, a dining hall with a meeting room furnished with cozy furniture and fireplace. The camp supports summer programs for spiritual formation in the Christian tradition, which are open to all. Confirmation programs and other specialized retreats occur throughout the year.

Our summer camp theme is "Love, Serve, Lead (And Beyond)" based on the new vision statement of the United Methodist Church. As campers are learning about joyfully serving others, they will get to put together hygiene kits for Midwest Mission. Consider assisting us in collecting these items to create a bigger impact in our communities.

Items will be collected and organized at East Bay Camp and then, brought down to Little Grassy Camp before the summer starts. Therefore, send all items to East Bay's address or use the QR Code to purchase directly from the Amazon Wishlist (https://a.co/05xbwn0Z)

Arts Camp is a wonderful summer experience for 4th–6th graders who love to create, explore, and have fun! Campers will work on exciting art projects that leave a lasting legacy at camp, and they will make special creations to take home, too.

Along with all the creativity, campers will still enjoy traditional camp activities like swimming, archery, games, Bible Study, hiking, and making new friends.

Come make art, make memories, and make your mark at Arts Camp! Register at littlegrassycamp.org/summercamps
