We are excited to share with you our vision for Camp Wagner. Our goal over the next few years is to develop, expand and renovate our campus to allow not only more activities and amenities, but to ensure that you will experience a deeper relationship with God when you visit Camp Wagner Retreat & Conference Center.
We believe that Camp Wagner is God purposed and over the next few months we will be releasing details in regard to each facet of our plan and how you can be apart of this momentous journey with us.
As you are impressed by God, we invite you to donate towards Camp Wagner so that this vision will be accomplished for the furtherance of the gospel of the kingdom.
Phase One represents a prayerful step forward to expand Camp Wagner’s impact—multiplied by mission, guided by vision, and secured through legacy-minded planning. At the core of Phase One is the acquisition of approximately 72 acres of land north of DYC, with the potential to expand up to 150 acres.
This land is vital to multiplying Camp Wagner’s mission by creating protected space for growth, ministry expansion, and future generations of campers to encounter God in a meaningful way. Mission Phase One strengthens Camp Wagner’s mission by investing in the immediate camper experience through:
- Strategic upgrades to Bradford Pavilion
- Replacement of beds and mattresses to improve comfort, health, and rest
- Renovation of the camp store to better serve campers and staff Vision With intentional pre-planning and faith-filled foresight,
Phase One advances the vision by:
- Land acquisition and foundational improvements ensure Camp Wagner remains a place of impact long into the future—preserving green space, expanding capacity, and securing a lasting legacy where lives are changed for generations to come.
- Developing a chapel in the woods, creating a sacred space for worship, reflection, and spiritual decisions
- Installing zip lines to expand adventure and engagement opportunities
Your support of Phase One is more than a gift—it is an investment in a mission multiplied, a vision realized, and a legacy secured. Through prayerful planning and faithful partnership, we believe God is making a way.
What Do We Need?
We call every member, constituent, and supporter of our camp ministry to give according to the capacity God has entrusted to them. For some, that gift may be time through faithful volunteering; for others, it may be financial support. If just 10,000 of our 32,000 constituents gave $200 each, we would raise $2 million to fund Phase One and move confidently into future phases of development.
Now imagine if all of our constituents—along with our extended supporters and ministry partners—would do the same. Imagine how much faster the ministry at Camp Wagner could expand, how many more lives could be reached, and how powerfully God could be glorified through a unified response of faith and generosity.
All financial gifts are tax-deductible. Checks or money orders may be made payable to Lake Region Conference and mailed to P.O. Box 189, Cassopolis, MI 49031. You could also make your donation online by clicking the Donate button in the top right hand corner of our webpage.
