TOP MICHIGAN LEADERSHIP CAMP: Circle Pines Center is a Top Leadership Summer Camp located in Delton Michigan offering many fun and enriching Leadership and other camp programs. Circle Pines Center also offers CIT/LIT and/or Teen Leadership Opportunities, too.

CAMP LOCATION: We are located in southwest Michigan, 25 miles northeast of Kalamazoo and 35 miles southeast of Grand Rapids on 300 arces of rolling hills in beautiful Barry County, near the Yankee Springs Recreation Area.

CAMP FACILITIES: Located on 300 acres of woods and fields and along the shores of spring-fed Stewart Lake, we have four cabin groups for our summer campers, miles of trails, a sandy beach for swimming, playing fields for sports, a historic farmhouse with dining hall and kitchen, and a stone pillered pavilion for theater, dances and other camp activities.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Our co-ed residential camp program, open to youth ages 7-17, combines elements of a traditional summer camp (swimming, sports, campfires, hikes, theater, dance, arts and crafts) with cooperative work projects (construction, organic gardening, trail maintenance and cleaning). In addition, educational activities focus on topics like climate change, food politics, social justice, ecosystems and the importance of critical thinking. Our focus on cooperation as an interpersonal strategy and viable economic alternative is embodied in our daily chores, work projects, decision making, camp store and other activities. We strive to build an inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds, incomes, faiths, ethnicities, and gender identities.

We also offer several weekend programs for families throughout the year, such as Maple Syrup Weekends, Apple Cider Weekends, Spanish Immersion Weekends, and the Buttermilk Jamboree music festival. For more information, visit our website at: Our Camp Website Link: www.circlepinescenter.org.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Our Young Adult Leader or YAL program serves campers who are 16 or 17 years old. They work closely with counselors to design a schedule that allows them to assist in various areas of camp like the waterfront, kitchen, or construction site, to get an idea for what type of camp employment they might seek in the future. While still participating in camp activities, they have some added responsibility to help lead programming and provide supervision.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Financial aid available.

FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): Apple Cider weekend, Maple Syrup weekend, and Spanish Immersion weekend are just a few of the programs that Circle Pines Center offers throughout the year to people and families of all ages. See our web site for more details, at: Our Camp Website Link: www.circlepinescenter.org.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: Buttermilk Jamboree folk music festival, June 16-18, 2017.
People's Institute family/adult camp, August 29 - September 4, 2017.

OTHER CAMP INFO: Circle Pines is committed to supporting sustainable agriculture and the slow food movement. Kitchen staff members work hard to provide delicious and nutritious meals from scratch using primarily local and organic ingredients. We source camp food from over 15 local farm families in Southwest Michigan. Meat dishes are prepared using pasture fed and humanely raised animals.
