Recreational Activities
Green Lake offers numerous recreational activities. The camp lies along the shores of the deepest lake in Wisconsin, providing a perfect setting for boating, swimming, fishing, tennis, golf and similar physical opportunities. Of course, you can simply take advantage of the time to soak up the warm rays of the sun. You can make no greater investment in total well-being of your families life than to share a week of spiritual growth and physical refreshment. In addition, you will be able to make lifelong friendships with people who share your love for Jesus Christ.
