More Than a Camp — A Sacred Place.

Welcoming churches, families, and individuals since 1926.

For a century, Indian Lake Nazarene Camp has been a sacred space.

Celebrating 100 Years of Heritage

Founded in 1926, it began as a vision to create a gathering place for Nazarenes to worship, grow, and connect. Through the years, four pillars have defined our legacy: Meeting on Common Ground, A Heart for Youth, Powered by Prayer, and Forward, Ever Forward. Generations have encountered God here and as we look to the future, we remain committed to passing this sacred trust to the next generation.

What People Say About Us

"Indian Lake is a beautiful place for families, campers, RVers, and anyone looking for a place for a retreat. It's set along Indian Lake which, in the summer months, is great for swimming, boating and other watercraft activities. There are games for kids and families, a playground, snack bar for treats/small meals, and a dining hall with delicious food. Church meetings and music are provided in the summer months and other activities can be scheduled throughout the year. A great community of people live here full-time. Pretty place! "
