United Methodist Camping

Registration for Summer Camp 2023 has begun!

Portage Chapel Hill Church is proud to pay 50% of the cost of sending your young person to camp! When you register, make sure to list Portage Chapel Hill Church as your home church affiliation and pay your half of the cost, and we will take care of the rest. (It is helpful if you let the office know when you’ve registered, that way we can get the balances paid before camp starts!)

There are several great options for Christian camp:

• Information about Lake Michigan Camp, Lake Huron Camp, and Wesley Woods Camp can be found at https://umcamping.org/overview/.
  – NEW THIS YEAR: Please use Sponsor Code PORTAGECHAPELHILL23 when you register.
   
• Lake Louise is located in the northern lower peninsula and hosts several different Christian camps for elementary through high school; visit lakelouisecommunity.org.
   
• Camp Beloved is a camp specifically for LGBTQIA+ youth and allies, where kids can make friends in a safe environment that is free from hassling, bullying, and a need to conform. Camp Beloved is located at Lake Louise, and more information can be found at lakelouisecommunity.org or on Camp Beloved’s Facebook Page.
   

Portage Chapel Hill wants to make sure every kid can go to camp. There are scholarships and rebates available through United Methodist Camping, and if there is a need for a full scholarship from Chapel Hill please don’t hesitate to let us know. You may speak with Pastor Barry or Pastor Jess.

If you have any questions please contact the church office at [email protected] or by calling (269) 327-6643.
