A Day at Camp
Discover Cedar Lake Camp
At Cedar Lake Camp, we go to sleep dreaming about the adventures that await us the following day and welcome the sun with excitement as it peeks through the trees each morning. Our days are filled with water activities, athletics, unforgettable programs, delicious food, and more.
