About Us:

Twin Lakes Camp & Conference Center is a Christian camp serving churches for over 70 years. Our campers come from a variety of different churches from Indiana, Illinois, and throughout the Midwest. The camp is located on 210 acres of scenic property including forests and 2 private lakes.

Adventure programming and an educational/spiritual emphasis to all our activities makes Twin Lakes Camp a great place to have fun and grow. Since 1950, we have welcomed thousands of youth and adults to our camps. Our purpose continues to be that of providing campers with a safe, challenging and enjoyable Christian Camping experience in the perfect environment: God's great outdoors!

Twin Lakes Camp was established as a non-profit organization under Internal Revenue Code section 501 (c)(3). We were originally known as Crystal Lake and Beechwood Lake camps.

Our board is led by a group of people who are members of supporting churches and is made up of both men/women and Pastors.
