Camp Fort Hill
Private
Camp Fort Hill sits on 228 acres of woods with waterfront on Lake Tamarack and more than three miles of hiking trails near Sturgis, established in 1928 for St. Joseph County youth. Its day camp serves ages 7-12, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with each camper attending one week across the five weeks the camp runs from June into July. Campers swim in Lake Tamarack and use the camp's boats and canoes; the property also sleeps about 100 across seven cabins with a lodge and dining hall for group stays.

★★★★★Kaitlyn PagelsI recently rented the Pavilion and Nature Center for my graduation open house and it was the perfect space and affordable, with lots of parking! I will probably have all my get together a here!
★★★★★Zachary FriebenI haven't walked over here yet, but I've been here twice for a live raptor event held by the Michiana Audubon Club. Camp Fort Hill accomadates well for these events.
★★★★★Alison DesOrmeauxHard to believe this place has been around for 90 years and it's still in great condition. I have some of the best childhood memories from CFH, so I'm glad it's still around to enjoy!
