Skyline Camp and Retreat Center
Private
Skyline Camp and Retreat Center runs overnight camp for ages 6-15, with campers grouped in cabins by age and developmental stage; most sessions check in Sunday and out Friday (4.5 nights), and a shorter 3.5-night mini camp is designed for first-timers. It also offers eight weeks of summer day camp for children 5-12, a Wild Child program for 3- and 4-year-olds, and recreational and social camps for children and adults with special needs from age 13 up. The camp sits on 156 acres of rolling hills, hardwood forest and pines near Almont in southern Lapeer County, about 40 miles north of Detroit. It has hosted camps and retreats since 1964 and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

★★★★★Ann MGreat place!! Love the place and the people who work there, plus the animals
★★★★★Gabey NocI was welcomed by so many happy faces I had just moved and didn't have any friends but skyli
★★★★★Steph WagnerWe had people coming in from all over the country in the middle of winter and Kevin was so helpful, kind, flexible, and welcoming! The staff checked in to make sure everyone got there safely, they kept an eye on us when the snow came and plowed the road, while also laying down salt and shoveling a small path for us before we got there. When we needed to change the plans, days or times of when we would be there or need to leave, they didn't hesitate to accommodate as best as they could, and they were kind/compassionate about it. I have nothing but praise and compliments for the house we stayed in and more importantly, for the owners. I would recommend this for every and any occasion whether it's a get away weekend for just yourself or for a massive family reunion anytime of the year! To Kevin and the staff, thanks for genuinely caring about my families safety, comfort and well being. Yall are amazing!
★★★★★Andrea ZaraMy church group and I recently went on a retreat here for this past weekend. The place we stayed in was very comfortable. The rooms were nice and clean, and the staff provided us bedding and towels just in case. The great thing is that they kept everything individually wrapped due to COVID. I appreciated that, and I know my friends did as well, since some of them are sensitive to exposure. Skyline had a lot of great sites to see when we went out walking. If any of you are looking for a place to camp or retreat, this is the place to go in Michigan.
