About Us

Little Eden Camp is a Christian, non-profit 501(c)(3) located on the shores of Portage Lake in Onekama, MI. It is operated by a board of directors who are appointed by the 900 plus members of Little Eden. These members are Christians who love the camp and are committed to, in agreement with and supportive of Little Eden's programs.

Little Eden desires to serve families, individuals and churches through youth camps, family camps, special events, family getaways and church retreats.​ Our mission is to provide a Christian environment that nurtures and encourages relationships to God and others through fellowship, worship, camping and education.

Our History
The history of Little Eden Camp begins in 1944, when five courageous Mennonite men decided to search for and purchase a place in Northern Michigan. These visionary men saw a need to provide a place for children, youth and families to gather -- away from their daily routines -- to relax, recreate and re-energize themselves in a Christian atmosphere.
