Family & Group Campground

The Camp Concordia Family Campground is available to group retreats from churches, youth groups, schools, etc. which have an approved agenda that aligns with the mission of Camp Concordia.

​It is located in the center of the property right on Half-Mile Lake. The 38 wooded lots all have electric, a picnic table and a fire ring. There is a campground showerhouse on the south end of the sites - all sites are within a short walking distance. We would love for your organized group to be part of this great place of ministry, especially if it supports the mission of our children's ministry. Be sure to see the Family Campground Policies below to help you in your planning.

Camp Concordia Facilities are available for Group Rental (including church groups, scout groups, family reunions, school groups, sports teams, etc.) on weekends when Summer Camps are not in session (Summer Camp Schedule). A Group Contact/Leader may contact the Camp Concordia Office at 616-754-3785 for estimated cost and current availability of the Family Campground and Base Camp Retreat Facilities.
