Located in the scenic Grand Traverse region of Northern Michigan, Lake Ann Camp offers more than just a place to stay—it’s a destination.

Meeting Spaces
We have a wide variety of meeting spaces available to accommodate your group size. Whether you are looking for a small meeting room for your staff meeting, large conference style space or a Chapel that seats 700 guests, we have that and everything in between. Audio and Visual equipment available for use in each meeting space.
Team Building
Everything is designed to challenge our guests to make life-changing decisions and it is all done by camper choice. We call it challenge by choice. This means we'll never force anyone to do anything they're not ready to do. Our trained facilitators know and understand the four stages of group dynamics: form, norm, storm and perform and how to help them get from one to the next, how to get the group to cooperate, communicate and function as a team or at the very least to recognize what they need to do to perform as a unit when they go back home.
Distraction Free
It's our commitment to our guests to make things to not get in the way of your group having a great time and allowing the Spirit of God to interact with everyone.
"The exceptional facilities, top notch technology and talented staff made for the best company retreat we've ever had. Lake Ann Camp is a beautiful and magical place. We look forward to coming again."
