Family | Campership Policy

The United Methodist Church runs a number of camps throughout Michigan and the United States. The camps run one week programs throughout the summer and are available for use by groups throughout the years. Camping programs are available for all ages 5 through 100. A brochure of all the opportunities is available each spring. The Chelsea UMC holds fund-raisers each year to help provide partial camperships for anyone who wishes to attend.
