Founded in 1916, Pretty Lake Camp has provided totally free summer camp to the children of Kalamazoo County for more than 100 years. We serve about 800 youth per summer. At Pretty Lake, every camper receives everything they need throughout camp, from clothing to bedding to meals to toothbrushes to shampoo. We are committed to removing barriers so that camp is a welcome place for all youth, no matter their family’s circumstances. Mission Pretty Lake provides life-changing experiences through free summer camp and experiential learning. Vision Experiences at Pretty Lake build stronger communities and a more just, inclusive, and compassionate world.
