We are extremely grateful for the prayers and financial support by so many people of the ministry of Big Sandy Camp. This past summer we had over 2,000 campers on the grounds. We recorded over 200 decisions; both first time and re-dedications. Praise the Lord for His goodness. We anticipate a great winter retreat season. Your continued prayers and financial support are appreciated!
Big Sandy Camp and Retreat Center is a Christ-centered facility located on the northeastern corner of Big Sandy Lake, just a few miles north of McGregor, Minnesota. Operating twelve months out of the year, we provide several summer camp sessions for kids as well as host a wide variety of retreat groups ranging from 1-300 guests in the fall, winter and spring.
