I sing of birds chirping, wild life roaming, horses neighing.

I sing of sunny days, games of fun, and children playing.

I dream of summer days, carnivals, Christian plays.

I sing of a shop of souvenirs, forests of tall trees, and sunsets of pinks, blues, and grays.

I sing of a Christian camp, warm cabins, and a place were friendship grows.

I write of arts and crafts, swimming in lakes, and high adventure where braveness shows.

I sing of beautiful crystal blue lakes, the safety and security I feel, and a fort that’s realistic.

I write of green grass, nature swaying in the wind, and cameras that click.

I sing of the love that floats around the camp, the magnificent staff, and a place that’s a world of its own.

I sing of morning bugles, nighttime songs that sing you to sleep, and kids that never moan.

I dream of summer at Camp Au Sable.

Tricia Martin is 12 years old. She attended Junior, Tween, and Specialty camps in 2006, and says, "I can't wait for camp!!!"

Camp is a place that leaves an indelible imprint on campers and staff alike. To experience camp is to experience the love of Jesus.

Come, explore the exciting possibilities waiting for you at Camp Au Sable—new friends, morning worship with our camp pastor, interesting classes, go-carts, horses, and exciting water adventures. Not only do we have five weeks of youth camps, but we have four weeks of family camps.
