Please join us for the South Haven Area Youth Winter Retreat on March 16 – 18, 2012! All current 6th – 12th grade students are welcome to attend. We are excited about our theme this year – Be Like Jesus! On this retreat, it is our desire that you would come to know Jesus and that you would experience the abundant life and deep joy that comes from serving Him! – SHAYWR

Anyone, in 6th – 12 grade can come! Invite your friends!
Why Are Middle School & High School Together?
You will hardly know they’re there. Middle School and High School meet separately for worship times, meals, games, gym time, sleeping areas, etc.
We Have Medical Staff!
2 Nurses: One for Middle School and one for High School
New This Year – More Art!
For those of you who love to get your hands dirty with paint and glitter, there will be unique and creative art opportunities throughout the entire retreat!
Camp Facilities
Miracle Camp has a caring staff devoted to God. They are one of the fastest growing camps in Michigan with excellent renovated facilities.
Every cabin has its own bathroom with a shower. Each cabin holds between 8 – 16 people with 2 leaders in each. Middle School and High School students will not be in the same cabin. No student is permitted to enter any cabin other than their assigned cabin! All cabins will remain locked when not in use.
The gym is huge and well-kept. Off to the side is a game room and camp store. Miracle Camp also has a wonderful dining room and coffee lounge!
