Bay Lake Camp is a unique location for a camp/retreat experience. One of the best parts about being here is that there is so much to do on the Island. Our User Groups bring their own leaders and curriculum, but BLC Staff provide the meals, lodging, and facilities that offer a variety of activities while you are here.

With the completion in June 2008 of a $2 million renovation project, Bay Lake Camp is now open year round. The addition to our Dining Hall offers a commercial kitchen, a new dining room with windows on three sides overlooking the lake, and a renovation of the old dining hall as a cafe setting with the original fireplace.

Our heated Red Cedar Lodge provides facilities for groups looking for a place to hold a youth retreat, leadership training, family reunion, and much more. With 12 rooms, each with their own bathroom, 2 fireside rooms, a kitchenette, and a large group meeting space opening up to the woods, it's the perfect location for your event.

The rustic, lakeside cabins provide classic camp charm for bunking up in the summer months for a memorable camp experience. Groups have the use of our chapel building for large groups, the ballfield, beach, and art house for activities, the canteen for snacks and of course camp tshirts, and each night groups can choose which campfire ring will close out their exciting day!

We hope this helps you visualize better where you will walk, talk, and play while at camp.  We have plenty of spaces available for campers of all ages. Check out the pictures below of each of the places on the map to get a better idea of what BLC is actually like! We hope this helps you feel more at home. We can't wait to see you on the Island!

Bay Lake Camp Mission Statement

Bay Lake Camp is a place where all are welcome. We celebrate urban camping ministry with all its rich diversity, 
in a unique island wilderness which emphasizes the stewardship of all creation.

We value the rich gifts of urban congregations and stay grounded in ministry to urban youth and their families.

We encourage spiritual leadership that fosters multicultural relationship building, 
and we seek to encounter God through rest and play.
