General Information

Michindoh has been in existence since 1910.  It started out as a camp to serve the oldest denomination to originate in the United States, the United Brethren in Christ denomination.  It gets it’s name from Michigan, Indiana and Ohio; the three states that formerly made up the Michindoh Conference of the U.B. denomination.  In 2006, the U.B. denomination decided to restructure its governance and as part of that restructuring Michindoh was entrusted to Lenawee Christian Ministries (LCS).  LCS is an independent Christian ministry based in Adrian Michigan, and consists of the Lenawee Christian School, the Christian Family Center, and Michindoh Ministries Camp and Conference Center. 

In 1987, Michindoh moved to its current location approximately 3 1/2 miles east of Hillsdale, Michigan. Situated on 250 forested acres surrounding Weatherwood Lake, Michindoh offers modern, up-to-date facilities in a beautiful, natural setting.  Michindoh serves Christian organizations with excellent adult conference, youth camping, and retreat facilities for families, couples and guests of all ages.  Michindoh also serves about 7000 youth each school year through our outdoor academic programs provided for both public and private schools.  Michindoh's own Christ centered programs reach hundreds of youth each summer with the good news of God's love, and minister to couples, families, and seniors throughout the year.

As an active member of Christian Camp and Conference Association, Michindoh continues to focus on our commitment to excellence in Christian Camping. We are licensed by the State of Michigan Family Independent Agency and exceed the standards set by the state for children’s camps.
