Overview
Trout Lake Camps is a Christian camp in Pine River, MN, offering unforgettable summer experiences for kids and teens. Set on the shores of the Whitefish Chain, campers enjoy amazing activities and top-notch facilities. With age-specific programs and a strong focus on faith, fun, and friendship, Trout Lake creates a welcoming space where campers grow spiritually and make lifelong friends and memories.
At Trout Lake Camps, we never like to do the same thing twice. We call it age-specific programming. Your kids will call it, "Even more fun than last year!" We offer three separate camps for three different age groups, each with their own focus and fun.
The Point Camp for grades 4–6 with outstanding cabin leaders, fantastic games, and skill classes like horsemanship and boating. Timber Ridge Camp for grades 6–8 for grades 6–8, combining high-octane experiences like laser tag and ropes courses with time for relaxing and full access to the swimming and boating areas.

Welcome Message
James, Executive Director
It is our values that guide and direct our decision making at Trout. Therefore, as a Christian camping organization, we look to what we value as a road map of how to do ministry because our values were shaped from Biblical principles. Out of our love for Jesus we passionately desire, as observed through decades of faithful ministry, to accomplish our mission by living out these values day in and day out.
