Overview

Pendalouan is where imagination and adventure come alive. With over 80 years of creating great summer memories, Camp Pendalouan has the foundation to provide a fun summer camp experience as well as a safe summer camp experience, sure to be full of treasured memories. A century of operation has led Pendalouan to become a premiere Michigan summer camp for both summer overnight camps and summer day camps.

Our traditions build friendships that go beyond a canoe ride to Turtle Bay or sharing a bench and watching flickering stars above the campfire. At Pendalouan, we specialize in personalized character development and helping kids make lifelong friends. With our leadership camps for kids, we empower youth to see their personal strengths while building on the skills needed to be future leaders.
