STRENGTHENING
FAMILIES
IN CHRIST
GET TO KNOW US
Winding Creek Camp was the West Michigan District camp of The Wesleyan Church. Six years ago the West Michigan District formed a transition committee and five years ago Winding Creek Camp became a self-sustaining non-denominational christian camp.
Winding Creek Camp is more than just a summer camp. During the summer, Winding Creek hosts a full summer of fun-filled, life-changing experiences for campers of all ages.
Winding Creek Camp has much to offer through retreats, conferences, outdoor education, and other venues. These programs offer ample opportunity to get away to the peaceful surroundings.
Winding Creek camp is a ministry that for over 125 years has sought to glorify God through Christian camping. Whether you join us for a spectacular week, weekend, or day, it is our desire that you leave Winding Creek Camp refreshed and changed... all for His glory!

MINISTRIES
Winding Creek Camp exists to strengthen Families in Christ.
As kids, youth, adults and families come to Winding Creek Camp, they are able to focus on the things that are truly most valuable.
For the kids and youth, this means getting deeply into God’s word and learning the importance of not just knowing God's word but living it as well; it means experiencing the reality of the love of God through the friends you bring, meet, and make every day; most of all, it means a life-changing encounter with the One who loves you most while surrounded by some experiences you will never forget.
For the adults, it means a time of fun with their families, adventures to re-tell, time to experience peace and enjoy quiet, and best of all, the opportunity to be reminded of who God is and who we are.

RETREATS
Winding Creek Camp is thankful that we have the opportunity to provide Christian Retreats for men and Women who strive daily to live their lives for Christ!
With 125 years' experience running camp, we've learned that adults, couples, and families love to have fun just as much as kids do!
So we've created a schedule of retreats that deliver epic, high-energy, life-changing fun!
Sometimes relaxing and spending time with loved ones is a lot of work. Planning schedules, preparing meals, and facilitating activities can leave you feeling exhausted. So let us take care of all the details so that you can simply enjoy the scenery, soak up some Biblical truth, and build life-long memories!

FAMILY CAMP
Winding Creeks Family Camp provides an ideal setting for the whole family to be surrounded by God's beautiful creation, refreshed in your journey with the Lord, and strengthened as a family. The highlight of every family camp is the number of individuals who make life-changing decisions around the altar.

Thinking of the future, $20,000 was raised to update the housing for teens and 70 individuals volunteered to actually do the remodeling. Evangelist Steve Wingfield baked and auctioned two pies to add a fire pit and benches in the squad area the pies went for over $1200.00 with Rev. Wingfield actually serving as his own auctioneer.
