The Youth Encounter weekends are held on the beautiful grounds of Fortune Lake Camp located at 138 Fortune Lake Rd., Crystal Falls, MI 49920. The fresh atmosphere away from home, school, and work helps youth discover the God they can know and believe in as they reflect and share how they see themselves, their ideas, hopes, and dreams, and encounter Jesus Christ risen and alive today!
During the weekend, the youth are housed in duplexes that have five bunk-beds on each side of the duplex. A central room features a kitchen where breakfast is eaten on Saturday and Sunday morning. Youth need to bring a sleeping bag and pillow, toiletries, and comfortable clothes. Food, snacks, and everything else will provided!
The Chapel at Fortune Lake Camp is very spacious, and will be the central location for the weekend. Here is where the talks, discussion, and group projects will take place. Here also is where Mass, prayer, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation is held.
Young people love to eat! Lunch, Dinner, and snacks will be provided in the Dining Hall at the Camp, which is fully staffed and licensed for full meal preparation.
