Camp Chickagami is the camp and retreat center of the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Michigan. As a spiritual home for the diocese, Chickagami offers summer youth camping for ages 8-16, young adult ministry with staff members starting at 16 years of age, facilitated retreats, and space for rental groups from inside and outside of the diocese.
Located about 20 minutes North of Alpena, Camp Chick offers respite and retreat in the midst of God’s beautiful creation in Northern Michigan.

We welcomed 23 rental groups to Camp Chick in 2017 totaling 423 individuals. These include congregational retreats, school and community groups, and family vacations.
Following the success of our first ever women’s retreat in 2017, a men’s retreat is planned for June of 2018. In addition, you can contact the Executive Director to set up a facilitated retreat for your congregation or other group.
In 2018, our Trip Camp gets a revamp! Campers will spend three days hiking to Spray Falls, Pictured Rocks, Lakeshore, Mosquito Falls, Chapel Falls, and Germfast in the Upper Peninsula before canoeing down the Manistique River.
From Diocesan Convention to the Episcopal Youth Event, alumni on Diocesan Council and as General Convention Official Youth Presence, we are seeing
camping show forth in our kids and adults.
