Details

Beechpoint is an action-oriented Christian camp for youth ages 8-14. Each camper will have a blast while they swim, tube, fish, zip-line, or wall-climb. They will enjoy the archery, riflery, crafts, go-carts and boating. The pinnacle benefit, however, is that they will be motivated, challenged, and changed through their relationships with their counselors and through what they learn about God's love for them. We are convinced that lives are changed at Camp! Our hope is that boys and girls from every background will have the opportunity to attend summer camp. To help to make this possible, scholarship assistance is available to qualifying families.

The mission of the American Youth Foundation inspires people to discover and develop their personal best, to seek balance in mental, physical, social and spiritual living and to make a positive difference in their communities and in the wider world.

AYF programs seek to enhance not only a child’s skills, but their confidence in themselves and their future, their character, and their connections to other people. Our outstanding staff work to create communities where youth feel supported and empowered to discover who they are and what they are capable of achieving.

As a leader in youth development, Miniwanca inspires people to be their best selves. We achieve this by creating a fun and safe environment where campers will learn new skills and make new friends – and we believe much more is possible! Campers 8-17 will find a progression of age appropriate adventures and opportunities waiting for them. Our philosophy of “Best Self,” “Balanced Living” and “Healthy Friendships” is intentionally interwoven throughout the camp experiences.

Resident Camp
Your home away from home - NCCS Camp Newaygo has a long history of traditions built on caring and excellence. Our foundation of providing exceptional programs in a rustic camp setting for girls, women and families dates back to 1926. Through cabin and unit living, resident campers learn to share and live cooperatively as a group. And at the center of it all is our newly renovated Lang Lodge, including new bathrooms with 16 private showers, and an expanded dining room. There is nothing better than knowing you are part of something special, something bigger than you! At our traditional girl’s resident camp opening campfire when you receive your cabin or unit scarf, tied on in a friendship knot by your counselor, you will feel that sense of community. You will become a part of a tradition you can return to year after year.

We feature a beautiful wetland trail, a high and low ropes challenge course, basketball and tennis courts, horseback riding, pottery, sailing, kayaking/canoeing, an archery range, a mile-long waterfront, and many other fun and adventurous activities!

Family Programs
Discovery family at NCCS Camp Newaygo! Our Mom & Me program, offers moms, aunts, grandmothers or other special female adults a memorable opportunity to step away from their hectic life and spend a little quality with your son, daughter, grandchildren, nieces, nephews or other special young person. Have a great time hitting the beach for swimming, boating, sandcastles and fishing, and follow with archery, arts and crafts, bog jumping, hiking, or nature to name a few options. Finish an active day around the campfire singing and roasting s’mores. Spend the night in camp’s newly renovated Lang Lodge or in one of our quaint rustic cabins. Don’t worry about your meals; we take care of all of that for you.

Our Family Camp is a real BUDGET SAVER VACATION. All meals, housing and activities included for one low price. You can’t beat it. Let our trained staff make this a family time to remember. You will have a cabin or dorm for just your family. Boating, fishing, swimming, canoeing and kayaking are all available, along with archery, challenge course adventures, arts, crafts, drama, dress up, and more. There are special things for parents with classes just for you too. Spend your vacation at our family friendly facility instead of a public beach. Our whole facility will be reserved just for our Family Camp campers.

Be sure to check out our website at www.campnewaygo.org for all the up-to-date information including dates, rates and pictures showing the great time you can have at NCCS Camp Newaygo!
