Just as Jesus went into the wilderness…

…for a time of prayer and renewal, Amnicon’s retreat ministry seeks to provide a quiet sanctuary set apart from everyday life for reflection and study.

Our high adventure camp and wilderness retreat center was started in 1967 as an outreach program of Central Lutheran Church. Recognizing the need for retreat and renewal, Amnicon’s ministry of Christ-centered hospitality developed, welcoming groups of all kinds. Thousands of people have rested and reflected in the beauty of this awesome Lake Superior setting. Whatever your purpose, you are sure to nourish your mind, body and spirit.

Your group will be the only group at camp. You can customize your retreat any way you wish. Set meal and recreation times to fit your schedule. Take advantage of this beautiful, tranquil setting with abundant wildlife and the many recreational opportunities!

"It's great being the only group on site."


Located on Nearly 700 Acres
Our retreat center is found nestled among a mixed wood, natural forest overlooking the beautiful Amnicon River. A short walk along a grassy path brings you to a half-mile of scenic Lake Superior beach. The outdoor chapel at the river’s bend provides individual solitude or group worship and meeting space. Wildlife and wild flowers abound in this grace-filled setting.
