What Our Staff Are Saying...
Jesse
Counselor
"As an employee at Michindoh Conference Center, I was surrounded by a supportive, loving group of people that were at camp to serve God. The whole team at Michindoh was amazing in how they cared for each other and this created a joyful atmosphere that included everyone. The best part of working at Michindoh was how FUN the team made the whole summer. By the time summer was over, Michindoh felt like home and I am so grateful for the opportunity and the many friends I made while I was there."
