MISSION & VISION
Vision
We dream of a world where youth and young adults can explore their individual and collective spiritual being in a safe and affirming environment where they develop their own moral identity to guide them through the highs and lows of their personal journey.
Mission
Camp Talahi Retreat and Nature Center provides a supportive community where our youth can discover, live into, and learn to love their own authentic selves as members and stewards of our natural world. Our primary focus is providing summer camp to families, youth, and young adults at our beautiful historic Michigan camp and lodge. We seek to maintain and expand the relationships we have with agencies and organizations that share our vision.
Who We Are
Camp Talahi is a nonprofit organization formed by a consortium of Michigan United Church of Christ members and ministers in 2013. Camp Talahi is a 501c3, tax-exempt entity under Michigan and federal law.
Camp Talahi has been organized for the purpose of administering camping and retreat programs held at Chenango Lake Retreat in Howell Michigan for many generations to come.
