What is Camp Chickagami?
Established in 1929, Camp Chickagami is the family camping center of the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Michigan. It serves Michigan Episcopalians and other church and community groups as a site for religious camping, education and recreation programs.
Our one hundred acres command the entire north shore of Lake Esau (one of Michigan’s most attractive small lakes) together with substantial frontage on Lake Huron’s beautiful Albany Bay. Most of the Camp is heavily forested and shelters several varieties of rare or endangered wildflowers. Camp Chickagami’s location “off the beaten path” provides a secluded environment, dark and starry nights and relative absence of intrusive lake traffic.
