| Camp New
Day is a week-long experience tailored for children whose lives have been affected by the incarceration of a parent or close family member. It originated in the West Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church and was offered by the Detroit Conference for the first time in 2001. Through the efforts of the Ecumenical Prison Ministry committee in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the Camp New Day experience was first offered in the summer of 2002 in the beautiful lakes and forest area of the U.P. Camp New Day U.P. strives to develop an identity as a group that lives by strong spiritual values as models for life apart from the camp setting. Our camp is interfaith in perspective, and does not promote the teachings of any particular denomination. It's one thing to live by spiritual principles in the camp, surrounded by others of like mind. It’s an even greater challenge to take these principles home. Our campers gain not only cherished memories, but the awareness of the love and strength of God. Camp New Day U.P. is designed to help children at risk break the cycle of fear and discover that God can lead them to lives of compassion and love for themselves, their parents and their neighbors.Camp is entirely free to children, including transportation.
