ACA Accreditation means that the camp you are considering for your child cares enough to undergo a thorough (up to 300 standards) review of its operation - from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. Lions Bear Lake Camp is proud to be accredited by the American Camping Association.

Partners with organizations to provide camperships
This is an opportunity for students to apply for funding (up to $250) to attend a summer camp in Michigan. These camperships are open to students with an IEP, in need of financial support, and would otherwise not have an opportunity for a summer camp experience. This scholarship funding is made possible thanks to a collaboration with the Family Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (Family Center).
