Check-out is on Saturday from 9am-11am.
Camp is held at the Clear Lake Education Center in Manistique, MI. We recommend using Google Maps instead of Apple Maps, and suggest that you take a look at the route beforehand. There is a long dirt road just before camp that seems to go on forever. If you feel like you've been on that road for too long, you're almost there!
Camp is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where summer weather is notoriously unpredictable. Plan to pack clothes for hot, cold, rain, or shine. Also plan to bring:
Camp is intended for children ages 9-15, with 16 and 17 year old campers typically attending as Junior Counselors. If your child is too young for camp, we invite you to come check it out for a day! Your child is welcome to participate in any of the activities when you feel it is appropriate. This typically happens on Friday, the last full day of camp. Please contact us first before coming out, as all adults must be background checked prior to visiting camp.
If your child does not meet our age requirements, but you feel they have the maturity and independence to attend camp for the full five days, please reach out to us!
Yes! If you are a former camper and want to stay involved, apply to volunteer! Volunteer and staff applications will be made available in January.

Camp UPeninsulin encourages campers to "unplug" during their time at camp. Phones are expected to be on "airplane mode" at all times, and are only to be used to take pictures or to check their CGM. WiFi is intended for staff only.
Our medical staff typically consists of 3 resident physicians, 2-3 nurses that are also Certified Diabetic Educators, and our Medical Director.
Camp UPeninsulin welcomes anyone who wants to get involved! We have many events leading up to camp and are always looking for volunteers. Email us at campupeninsulin@gmail.com if you're interested in helping at any of our events.
